Abstract: Corrosion control in refining and chemical units constitutes a comprehensive strategic issue concerning enterprise safety, economic efficiency, environmental protection and social responsibility. Its primary objective extends beyond merely technological breakthroughs to establishing a systematic protection and management framework spanning the entire life cycle of facilities. This approach aims to achieve a fundamental shift from passive response to proactive prevention. Drawing on the concepts of lifecycle management, integrity, PDCA cycle management and continuous improvement from equipment integrity management systems, and utilizing advanced technologies such as Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), Integrity Operating Windows (IOW), Corrosion Control Documents (CCD), and an internet-based corrosion monitoring and early warning platform, this paper established a corrosion control integrity management strategy and system covering risk management, operational management, monitoring and inspection, preventive maintenance and other aspects. This system is designed to provide technical support and decision-making reference for enhancing the inherent safety of equipment and pipelines in refining and chemical enterprises, thereby ensuring their long-term stable operation.
