Anti‐corrosion protection of chimneys and flue gas ducts

Abstract

Industrial chimneys are a great part of environmental protection in industrial countries. In recent years many of them have been used to carrying away very aggressive gases from boilers and flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) units below acid dew‐point temperature. It is opf very important to modernize the old stacks and protect them against corrosion. The proper anti‐corrosion protection of modern high stacks is also an important technical and economical problem. In this paper the mechanism of acid dew‐point corrosion, as well as construction of industrial chimneys, methods of their anti‐corrosion protection and modernisation are described.
