Metso: Best Paper Award for Corrosion Control Solution

Metso has received the Best Paper Award in the electrical instrumentation and control category at the recent POWER-GEN Europe 2013 exhibition held in Vienna, Austria.

 
 

Metso's winning paper, High Temperature Corrosion Controlling by Online Fuel and Process Atmosphere Management Solution, highlights the new Metso Corrosion Management solution, which enables power plants to extend their superheaters' lifetime, maximize fuel flexibility, optimize fuel economy and lower their environmental impact. It is a solution that offers rapid payback on the initial investment.

The paper describes Metso's whole package - the Metso Corrosion Management solution - for corrosion monitoring and control that has been developed in close cooperation with customers and Metso's various business segments. It presents a concrete case example with results, where recycled and biomass fuels are co-fired. Online measurement and corrosion rate calculation, based on wide material know-how, together with information and control applications, ensure higher plant efficiency in parallel with wide fuel flexibility.

The Metso Corrosion Management solution tackles the effects of corrosion, optimizes the fuel diet and extends equipment lifetime. Power producers no longer need to avoid inexpensive, lower-quality fuels due to risks of corrosion.
