Abstract

Supercritical power plants have now become one of the essential plans for the power generation industry due its higher efficiency and larger capacity compare to the current power plant in Malaysia. To increase the confidence level in plant assessment, a study have been initiated to study the steam oxide morphology in supercritical boiler technology. The data captured will be used as baseline and reference data for boiler tube wall assessment.
