Speaker Notification of Selection: March 4, 2015
Final Paper/Presentation Due May 20, 2015
Papers are sought in the following areas: Materials selection, corrosion mechanisms,
and industry corrosion experience (case studies). Specific areas include:
Low-temperature corrosion:
- Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) corrosion
- FGD wastewater treatment systems materials selection
- Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems
- Water treatment systems
- Transmission and distribution infrastructure
- Under insulation and buried pipe corrosion
- Effect of fuel and emissions control additives (Bromine, activated carbon, etc.)
- Duct-work, casing, and structural corrosion for 50 year+ plant operation
- Fuel/natural gas handling systems
- Duplex and stainless steel experience in geothermal and renewable applications
- Air heater reliability
- Coating performance
- Repair and mitigation strategies (coatings, overlays, cathodic protection, etc.)
High-temperature corrosion topics:
- Steam-side oxidation and exfoliation
- Fireside corrosion of waterwall and superheaters/reheaters
- Effect of biomass co-firing
- Coating and surface modification for improved corrosion behavior
- Refractories for gasifiers
Combined mechanisms:
- Stress corrosion cracking in waterwalls
- Dew point or deliquescent salt corrosion impacts
- Improper storage and shipment of high-strength alloys
- Fouling and pitting in HRSG economizers
- Erosion-corrosion in FRP, coatings, rubber, etc
- Combined corrosion and mechanical performance issues
Future technologies and general topics:
- Novel material solutions and metallic alternatives
- Economics of various materials solutions
- Open and closed supercritical CO2 cycle material compatibility
- New equipment: wet ElectroStatic Precipitators (ESPs), CO2 capture systems, etc.
- Fireside corrosion in oxycombustion environments
- Liquid/molten salt corrosion for advanced cycles
