The challenge

Corrosion is everywhere, in all parts of the plant. From the heating surfaces of steam generators to the steel structures of wind turbines. Effective corrosion protection demands a deep understanding of corrosion processes.

Method

• Intensive investigation of corrosion processes and appropriate measures to minimise them
• Use of a corrosion probe for real-time measurement of the rate of corrosion in the combustion plants
• Testing new coatings for high-temperature corrosion
• Assessment of corrosion-protection coatings for seawater corrosion
• Salt spray corrosion tests

Objective

• Lower costs/improved performance/higher margins
