Electricity and power generation is an essential part of our life. However, power generation activities also create by-products (such as sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, etc), which can be dangerous when released to the atmosphere. Sensors, as part of the control system, play very vital role for the flue gas cleaning processes in power plants. This thesis concerns the developme...

Combustion of the municipal waste generates highly corrosive gases (HCl, SO2, NaCl, KCl and heavy metals chlorides) and ashes containing alkaline chlorides and sulphates. Currently, corrosion phenomena are particularly observed on superheater’s tubes. Corrosion rates depend mainly on installation design, operating conditions i.e. gas and steam temperature and velocity of the flue gas containing...
