EVALUATION OF LININGS FOR SO2 SCRUBBER SERVICE

In the reported experiments, lining materials to protect steel surfaces from corrosion were evaluated utilizing the Atlas Test Cell. Collected gas condensate from within an operating flue following a SO//2 Scrubber Unit was analyzed and used as the media within the cell. This synergistic test correlated closely with field experience and appears to be a very effective method to evaluate coating materials. Microscopic observations of both coating and steel were made after completion of the test.
