The Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility is a multi-laboratory, modular facility that allows researchers to safely examine the performance of materials under conditions ranging from atmospheric corrosion to highly corrosive and/or erosive environments similar to those existing in fossil fuel power plants and gasifiers. Researchers can use the facility to conduct experiments at low or high temperatures, in pure- or mixed-gas environments, and in pure- or mixed-gas/liquid environments. The laboratory features a safety system that detects gas leaks both inside and outside of the lab’s six research modules, each of which can be exposed to 11 different gases or dry air. Research conducted at the facility supports NETL’s investigations into oxy-fuel combustion oxidation, refractory materials stability, and fuels. It also sheds light on how existing power plants, which subject materials to extremely harsh conditions, can best be upgraded.
