Combating Flow Accelerated Corrosion in Power Plants with IGS HVTS Technology
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, […]

Why an Alloy Upgrade is the Best Solution to Crude Unit Overhead Corrosion Control
Overhead Corrosion in Refineries Corrosion in the overhead section of pressure vessels, known as overhead corrosion, is a significant challenge the energy industry faces. This type of corrosion can occur in both primary units, such as crude distillation units (CDU) and vacuum distillation units (VDU), as well as secondary units like absorbers, fractionators and strippers. […]

The Critical Role of High Emissivity Coatings in Space Exploration
High-emissivity coatings have played a critical role in space exploration for decades. They can be used in high-temperature rocket nozzles and control surfaces. The coating demonstrates high emittance above 80% or better at broad wavelengths within the infrared spectrum. It has been shown to have an extremely stable emittance at lower wavelengths within the infrared […]
