Chemical cleaning of superheat/reheat areas of fossil fueled steam generators is a viable method to control solid particle erosion in turbines. Extensive planning prior to chemical cleaning is essential, including screening of prospective chemical solvent systems and varying conditions. Tube samples from appropriate areas should cover applicable materials of construction. This paper describes such a testing program done prior to an actual cleaning and correlates test data with post cleaning inspection results.
