VGB R 116 H:2009-11

The VGB Guideline “Preservation of Power Plants“ is a summary of existing and revised literature on preservation methods according to the state-of-the-art.
Upon the initiative of power plant manufacturers and users the first edition was revised to adapt to the state-of-the-art. The update is intended on the one hand to adapt the guideline to new preservation methods and materials, and on the other hand to give recommendations for preservation methods for the period of time starting after manufacture until initial start-up. In addition, further relevant power plant components were included in the guideline.
The guideline consists of two parts. Part I deals with the water/steam-side preservation of power plants and power plant components, whereas Part II concentrates on the flue-gas side preservation of steam generators.
