ASTM D5364-93e1

Standard Guide for Design, Fabrication, and Erection of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Chimney Liners with Coal-Fired Units

SCOPE
1.1 This guide offers direction and guidance to the user concerning available techniques and methods for design, material selection, fabrication, erection, quality assurance, and control.  
1.2 These minimum guidelines, when properly used and implemented, can help ensure a safe and reliable structure for the industry.  
1.3 This guide offers minimum requirements for the proper design of a FRP liner once the service conditions relative to thermal, chemical, and erosive environments are defined. Due to the variability in liner height, diameter, and the environment, each liner must be designed and detailed individually.
1.4 Selection of the necessary resins and reinforcements, composition of the laminate, and proper testing methods are offered.  
1.5 Once the material is selected and the liner designed, procedures for proper fabrication of the liner are developed.  
1.6 Field erection, sequence of construction, proper field-joint preparation, and alignment are reviewed.  
1.7 Quality-assurance and quality-control procedures are developed for the design, fabrication, and erection phases. The quality-assurance program defines the proper authority and responsibility, control of material and fabrication, inspection procedures, tolerances, and conformity to standards. The quality-control procedures provide the steps required to implement the quality-assurance program.  
1.8 Appendix X1 includes research and development subjects to further support recommendations of this guide.

INTRODUCTION
Federal and state environmental regulations have imposed strict requirements to clean the gases
leaving a chimney. These regulations have resulted in taller chimneys (600–1000 ft (183–305 m)) and
lower gas temperatures (120–200°F (49–93°C)) due to the use of scrubbers. These regulations led to
the development of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) chimney liners in the 1970’s.
Fiberglass-reinforced plastic liners have proven their capability to resist corrosion and carry loads
over long periods of time. Successful service has been demonstrated in the utility and general-process
industries for over 40 years. Appendix X4 is a partial listing of FRP-liner heights and diameters
currently in the generating industry. The taller FRP structures and larger diameters (10–30 ft (3–9 m))
imposed new design, fabrication, and erection challenges.

A utility-industry survey of FRP liners was conducted in 1983 (4). This survey summarized the 19
FRP liners constructed in the power-utility industry; including Owner/A-E/Contractor, overall
configuration, fuel type, and specific operating experience.
The design, fabrication, and erection of FRP liners involves disciplines which must address the
specific characteristics of the material. Areas that have been shown to be of importance include the
following:
(1) Flue-gas characteristics such as chemical composition, water and acid dew points, operating and
excursion temperature, velocity, etc.
(2) Plant operation as it relates to variations in the flue-gas characteristics.
(3) Material selection and laminate design.
(4) Quality control throughout the design, fabrication, and erection process to ensure the integrity
of the corrosion barrier and the structural laminate.
(5) Secondary bounding of attachments, appurtenances, and joints.
(6) Installation and handling.
Chimney components include an outer shell, an inner liner, breeching ductwork, and miscellaneous
platforms, elevators, ladders, and miscellaneous components. The shell provides structural integrity to
environmental forces such as wind, earthquake, ambient temperatures, and supports the liner or liners.
The liner or liners inside the shell protects the shell from the thermal, chemical, and abrasive
environment of the hot boiler gases (120–560°F (49–293°C)). These liners have been made of FRP,
acid-resistant brick, carbon steel, stainless steel, high-alloy steel, shotcrete-coated steel, and
shotcrete-coated shells. The selection of the material type depends on the chemical composition and
temperature of the flue gas, liner height, diameter, and seismic zone. Also, variations in flue-gas
characteristics and durations of transients affect material selection and design.
