Components typically affected: This type of boiler corrosion fatigue is commonly found on furnace wall tubes of coal-fired once-through boiler designs, but has also occurred on tubes in drum-type boilers. Solutions: Reduce the ramp rates during start-up and shut-down to reduce the thermal stresses. Optimize sootblowing operations to minimize

Read More4. Pulverized Fuel Boiler Most coal-fired power station boilers use pulverized coal, and many of the larger industrial water-tube boilers also use this pulverized fuel. This technology is well developed, and there are thousands of units around the world, accounting for well over 90% of coal-fired capacity
