Pipelines are used to carry bottom ash slurries to disposal areas at many coal fired power plants. This paper presents an analysis of wear measurements taken during five years of operation of a ceramic bead lined epoxy fiberglass piping system in this service at a large mid- western power plant. Comparative wear data in bottom ash slurry service for this type of pipe and high chromium cast iron pipe are also presented.
