Equipment background

This application record covers corrosion-protection work on steel membrane-wall tube banks during construction of new gas boilers. The photographs show workshop preparation and coating access rather than a shutdown repair inside an operating boiler.

How the problem develops

Environmental exposure

The supported environment is workshop or new-construction application on steel boiler-tube surfaces. No definitive service temperature, deposit exposure or operating-boiler condition is published as a project fact.

Operating conditions

The evidence concerns fabrication-stage preparation and coating of newly constructed membrane walls. It does not document staged shutdown work, commissioning performance or long-term operation.

Observed condition and failure signs

The record identifies preparation needs on newly constructed steel tube surfaces. It does not show operating deposits, measured wear damage or a failed in-service coating system.

Problem analysis

Weld residue, surface rust or scale and the narrow spaces beside tube transitions can leave local preparation or coverage gaps. Mechanical cleaning, roughening, detail pre-coating and controlled spray angle are therefore the central application controls.

Problem to address

Dense tubes, welds and restricted spray angles create shadow zones where cleaning and coating continuity require separate attention. The documented objective is corrosion protection; an in-service wear or particle-erosion failure is not established.

Protection objectives

Prepare the membrane-wall steel and build continuous coating coverage across tube faces, sides, weld transitions and restricted details. This is an application objective rather than a verified performance outcome.

Solution approach

System selection rationale

A historical flue-gas corrosion coating is named in the technical handover, but no current DAYU-X product model is verified. Present selection must be reviewed against confirmed boiler service, temperature, gas composition, substrate condition and compatibility.

Surface preparation

Remove weld slag, loose material, surface rust, scale and dust from the steel membrane walls. Roughen the required surfaces, wipe away preparation residue and pre-coat edges or restricted details that cannot be reached uniformly by spray.

Application workflow

Protect non-work surfaces, complete mechanical preparation, clean the tube bank, brush-precoat restricted details, spray the accessible membrane-wall surfaces in controlled stages, and inspect for missed or damaged areas before release.

Curing and return-to-service control

Protect the applied surfaces from contamination and mechanical damage while curing under the selected system's approved instructions. No commissioning, operating result or service duration is claimed.

DY-13 is technically relevant to flue-gas corrosion review; this link does not identify the product used in the documented waterwall application. Selection depends on confirmed project conditions.

Application and quality control

Inspection should confirm cleaned and roughened steel, completed edge and weld-detail pre-coating, even visible coverage and correction of missed or damaged areas. The available evidence does not verify current product identity, as-built thickness or an in-service result.

Inspection and maintenance

After commissioning, inspection planning should return to weld transitions, tube sides and other restricted-access areas where coating continuity is hardest to observe. No corrosion reduction or service-life extension is inferred from the construction-stage images.

Site-condition images

The photographs show new boiler membrane-wall tube banks, mechanical preparation and coating stages. They do not establish gasifier work, an operating-boiler shutdown or a service-performance result.

Frequently asked questions

Was this an operating-boiler shutdown project?

No such claim is supported. The available record and photographs describe workshop application on newly constructed gas-boiler membrane walls.

Why do dense waterwall tubes require detail control?

Tube sides, weld transitions and narrow gaps create shadow zones where preparation and spray coverage can vary.

Were DY-15 or DY-16 used on this project?

No current DAYU-X product usage is verified. Those wear-focused products are not presented as project materials on this page.

What does the image sequence establish?

It supports the equipment type and preparation, detail and spray-application stages, but not a quantified service result.
