Standard Specification for Design and Fabrication of Flue Gas Desulfurization System Components for Protective Lining Application

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the design and fabrication of metal components for Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) equipment, including absorbers, tanks, chimney liners, ductwork and associated equipment that are to be lined for corrosion or abrasion resistance, or both.  
1.2 Limitations  
1.2.1 This specification is intended only to define the design considerations for successful application and performance of protective linings for FGD system components.
1.2.2 It does not cover structural performance of FGD components.
1.2.3 It does not cover use of metalic linings.
1.3 This specification represents the minimum requirements for lining work. In cases where the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations differ from this specification, these differences must be resolved before fabrication is started.  
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

2.4 Appurtenances Inside Components:
2.4.1 The requirements in Sections 2 and 3 apply to any
appurtenances that are being lined and installed inside a lined
component, such as agitators, anti-swirl baffles, gaging de-
vices, internal piping, ladders, and support brackets.
2.4.2 If appurtenances inside the component cannot be
lined, they shall be made of corrosion-resistant materials. If
alloys are used, the lining shall carry over the welded area onto
the alloy a minimum of 3 in. (76 mm). Some linings may
require special designs to protect the edge of the lining. If
bolted connections are used, dielectric insulation shall be
provided.
2.4.3 Heating elements shall be attached with a minimum
clearance of 6 in. (150 mm) from the surface of the lined
component. Greater clearance may be required to protect the
lining from excessive temperature conditions depending on the
temperature of the element.
2.4.4 Special precautions shall be taken in lined components
where severe abrasion/impingement damage may occur. Pre-
cautionary design measures, such as wear plates, brick liners or
