Corrosion is the main cause of mature failures for infrastructure such as residential, public facilities, and also industries. Regarding of industry which having a rapid growth in the province of Aceh, especially Palm Oil Processing (PKS), the existence must be noticed in line with the environmental impact that caused by operations such as industrial gases which can be polluted the atmosphere. This condition can transform the infrastructure especially steel which is located around PKS becomes more vulnerable to the corrosion attacks. This study aims to investigate the corrosion atmospheric of structural steel in the PKS area and operational impacts for the infrastructure of PKS at PT. Ensem Sawita and PKS PT Anugerah Fajar Rejeki(AFR). Infrastructure corrosion is focused on measuring atmospheric corrosion rate of structural steel surrounding PKS area. Several types of steels will be selected as a specimen. The corrosion rate is calculated with mass-loss method referring to ASTM G50 standard. The location of selected PKS is around ± 5kmfrom the coast. The results are obtained after exposure during 4 months, the corrosion rate that occurs for 5 types of structural steel was in normal level. It is classified in the outstanding level of relative corrosion resistance (<1mpy). So, the usage of 5 types structural steel is relatively safe on palm industries and related areas.

Corrosion is one of the main causes of early failure of infrastructure both for public housing facilities and public facilities in downtown Langsa. This corrosion is caused by air pollution generated from motor vehicle and household industry exhaust fumes and exhaust smoke from the nearest palm oil mill industry from the city of Langsa. Related to air pollution, its sustainability should be a concern regarding environmental impacts that occur, one of which is atmospheric corrosion. This study aims to analyze the impact of the effects of pollution on infrastructure corrosion on construction steel which is often used on infrastructure in the city of Langsa and the palm oil mill industry. There are five types of steel model infrastructure consisting of strips of plate steel, elbow steel, cylinder steel, plate steel, and low carbon steel market have become specimens. Calculation of corrosion rate using the method of mass loss by reference to ASTM standard G50, the location selected above buildings in downtown Langsa and palm oil mill industry. The results of the study for one year showed the level of corrosion rate that occurred in 5 types of steel construction is still relatively safe or its relative corrosion resistance can be classified in the outstanding category (<1 mil per year). The conclusion is that 5 types of construction steel that have been tested, are resistant to corrosion, and are suitable for use as the main construction material in Langsa City and the palm oil mill industrial environment.
