Abstract

The corrosion prevention cost of utilities in power plants of the General Electric Company of Libya (GECOL) is estimated. The study cover expenses of tank coating, chemicals to mitigate corrosion and cathodic protection cost. The expenditure relative to the generated power is higher for steam power plants compared with gas and combined cycle power plants. Steam plants consume large amount of chemical materials to control corrosion in boilers and other utilities. Cost of tank coating is higher in steam plants because of the larger number of tanks needed to store fuel.
