Does Texaco’s gasification process have any requirements regarding the chloride ion content in coal water slurry additives?

Are there any specific requirements regarding the chloride ion content in additives for the Texaco water-coal slurry gasification process? How low does it need to be? Everyone is welcome to share their views based on the actual situation of their own companies; thank you!
Although GE did not provide relevant figures, chloride ions are corrosive to alloy materials; therefore, the specific data depend on the material. It is best for companies to keep it below 1 PPM in general.
It is generally referred to as raw water or fresh water. If control is needed, should it be applied only to the water added to the additives, or to the water throughout the entire pulping system? Also, what does 1 ppm represent as a value, and how is it interpreted?
According to literature, chlorine has a corrosive effect on austenitic steel; however, the relationship between its concentration and the degree of corrosion has not yet been determined
