When we are reading RAGAGEPs for Chlorine Process Design, we will certainly see references to “Wet Chlorine” and “Dry Chlorine,” and it’s one of the top questions I get when people/businesses are new to the chlorine business.
In the world of process safety and metallurgy, the distinction between Dry Chlorine and Wet Chlorine is one of the most critical “material of construction” (MOC) lessons a safety engineer can learn. The presence of even a tiny amount of moisture transforms chlorine from a manageable industrial gas into one of the most aggressive corrosives known to man.
