Title: Flow-Accelerated Corrosion in a 50-year-old Boiler by Dick Coldham, Dr Russell Coade, and Dr Helena Zhu, HRL Technology Group. 

Brief Abstract:  An economiser tube failure occurred last year in a 50-year-old boiler. The failure occurred in a region previously affected by Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC). An increase in Dissolved Oxygen (DO) over time led to the development of a protective oxide layer in the historic FAC regions. However, despite these mitigating factors, the failure still occurred. This presentation will share details of this failure investigation and present the potential causes of the damage.

Visit us at booth no. 6 and 7 to meet our five other team members and discover more about the pioneering solutions in boiler and heat recovery steam generation systems, where we'll be sharing the latest advancements and engaging in meaningful discussions.

We greatly look forward to all the conversations, insightful sessions, and the opportunity to forge long-lasting relationships within the industry!
