"This actually is spelled 'Aniline' but people use analine. In power plant usage it is not in this pure form of aniline.

For over 60 years, aniline was known as a powerful poison that cases the blood to decompose when in contact with your skin.

Its safer [sometimes] derivative forms are used in perfumes to explosives.

In power plants, aniline's derivative is better known as cyclohexamine. In principal this goes in to solution when placed in the boiler water and cannot be distilled out of the water -this phenomena is called azeotrope - therefore it carries over with the steam and act as an acid neutralizer in the steam path and for the returning condensate for such common problems as carbonic acid in the condensate."
