What effect does free oxygen have on pipelines and tower internals in chemical production?

Recently, the pump in the unit has been clogging very frequently; what comes out of the filter are oxide substances. I suspect that free oxygen is present in the feed material, and I wonder how severe the corrosive effect this will have on the pipes and trays
Free chlorine can cause significant corrosion to metal equipment; typically, such equipment will become corroded after two to three years. Anticorrosion lining treatment can be applied, or non-metallic equipment can be chosen
