With the recent addition of scrubbing systems to power plants, a variety of costly materials problems have evolved. To maintain or increase system reliability and lower component replacement cost, a formal materials research program should be adopted by utilities. PEPCO has actively pursued a materials program through five phases: literature search and information exchanges, laboratory testing, in-situ testing, environment monitoring, and equipment inspections.
