...Abstract In Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU), the piping transporting various gas streams to the incinerator can experience severe corrosion and plugging due to condensation of sulfur, water and/or sulfuric acid. Case histories of these problems have occurred even in lines with properly-designed steam...

...Abstract In response to ongoing problems resulting from corrosion in furnace wall tubes at waste incineration plants a nickel-based self-fluxing alloy coating fused by induction heating has been developed and is in service in several locations. It has been shown to greatly extend the service life...

... and duplex stainless steels corrode severely. Abstract Experience in incineration and waste fuel gas scrubbers shows that corrosive attack in the gas scrubber can vary widely. The wide range of refuse or waste fuel compositions can lead to a wide variation in the flue gas composition and corrosivity...

...Abstract Under high temperature services such as in waste incinerating systems, failure can occur due to obscure reasons that are not directly related to process parameters. Although, the chosen material for the incinerator may be well suited, deposits in the system and some constituents...

...) using urea chemistry is utilized to control NO_x emissions from boilers, municipal waste incinerators, refinery furnaces, recovery boilers, utilities and other stationary combustion sources. Control requires injecting urea-based solutions into the flue gas at specified temperatures. Urea...

...Abstract A new incinerator has been built to process self-generated, low level radioactive wastes at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site. Wastes include protective clothing and other solid materials used during the handling of radioactive materials, and liquid chemical wastes resulting...

... is based on the use of ceramic composite components to assure long life and reliability. A prototype unit has been built and will be field tested in a waste incinerator facility. Candidate ceramic composite materials were exposed to the incinerator flue gases in order to predict their performance. Test...

... atmosphere. Such mixtures result in the molten salt corrosion that can be more severe than attack by HCl and chlorine gases. incinerator fireside corrosion carbon steel hot corrosion reducing gas water wall tube chloride oxide INTRODUCTION The rapidly increasing amounts of municipal solid waste...

...Abstract Thermal oxidation in sophisticated incineration systems has become the technically preferred method for permanent disposal of chemical wastes, medical wastes, and hazardous wastes. The waste streams processed in these incineration systems contain sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, bromine...
