Corrosion in a stack lining is a particular concern when

  • A.The stack is very tall
  • B.The plume is buoyant
  • C.Flue gas falls below its dew point
  • D.Exit velocity is very high

Answer: C

Correct answer: Flue gas falls below its dew point

Sulphur trioxide in the flue gas combines with water vapour, and below the acid dew point - typically 110 to 140°C for a sulphur-bearing fuel - sulphuric acid condenses on the lining and attacks it. Keeping the gas above that temperature, or lining the stack with an acid-resistant material, is what prevents it.
