The objectives of the conference were to review, document and transfer technology on all aspects of BTF. To meet these objectives, papers and presentations were provided on the following topics: general overview of BTF around the world; waterwall fireside corrosion; corrosion fatigue; root cause analysis; non-destructive evaluation for BTF; superheater failures; condition assessment and data acquisition; and boiler tube failure reduction programs. Each topic was discussed in a separate conference session. Discussions followed each paper and are included in the proceedings. A questionnaire was completed by the attendees on BTF and the remaining needs for research and development. The results are provided in Appendix A.
