Organic anti-corrosion systems in FGD lignite-fired units -- 10 years of operation experience

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20015057
In order to meet the limitation of sulfur dioxide emission that came into force at the 1st July 1988 RWE Energie installed 37 flue gas desulfurizing plants (FGD) in 4 lignite fired stations. These FGD's are operated on basis of the limestone process. The types of scrubber are different. To protect the inner steel surfaces of the scrubbers and the ducts from corrosion by the flue gas and the condensate, rubbers and coatings are used. During 10 years of operation experience with FGD's several types of corrosion protection systems in the surface in the scrubber and the ducts were used. The reliability and break down mechanism of different types of soft rubber linings and resin systems is discussed.
