The task was set of determining the dependence of the quantitative indicator of the corrosion rate of the material of the body of the electric dehydrator on the composition of the aggressive medium, the development of measures to improve the quality of the assessment of workability and the assessment of the residual life, as well as ensuring the protection of the parts of the body of the electric dehydrator from exposure to the most aggressive working phases during operation. For research, rectangular samples were made of low-alloy steel 09G2S with dimensions of 20x20 mm and a thickness of 4 mm. To quantify corrosion wear, the samples were immersed for different times in three model media: ordinary water with different NaCl concentrations; the water, which has stood up from oil, with various concentration of NaCl; oil-water emulsion with an oil content in the water in the range from 7.7% to 95%. It was shown that the maximum corrosion wear is observed in a model medium, which is separated water with salt dissolved in it and characteristic of the lower bottom and lower zones of the electric dehydrator body.
