The Importance of Coating Durability High emissivity coatings are designed to improve radiant and conductive heat transfer in fired heaters, resulting in better process efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption. In the harsh operating environments of fired heater furnaces, where temperatures routinely exceed 1000°C (1800°F), the durability and longevity of high emissivity coatings are vital. Ensuring […]

Protecting Pipelines from Corrosion Internal pipeline corrosion poses a significant challenge to the energy industry. It can be caused by the presence of water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other corrosive substances. Without preventative measures, pipeline corrosion can lead to potential safety hazards, environmental damage, and costly repairs. Several advanced techniques and materials have been […]

Flue Gas Dew Point Corrosion: Mechanism and Implications Flue gas dew point corrosion is a complex electrochemical process that occurs when flue gases cool below their acid dew point temperature. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in industrial systems involving combustion processes, such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The corrosion mechanism involves: Condensation […]

Introduction: KOH Corrosion Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a versatile and widely-used chemical compound. From the production of soaps and detergents to the manufacturing of batteries and the treatment of industrial waste, KOH finds applications across numerous sectors. However, despite its remarkable utility, this compound poses a significant corrosion challenge. Corrosion, the gradual degradation of materials […]

Introduction Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is critical in nuclear power plants, particularly within Moisture Separator Reheater (MSR) components. MSR internals, including moisture separator drains and reheater tubes, are constantly exposed to high-velocity, high-temperature steam laden with moisture and aggressive impurities. This environment creates a perfect storm for FAC, leading to rapid material degradation, compromised component integrity, […]
