AmStar 888*

Regardless of your boiler type or operational configuration, your boiler is exposed to high temperature gases that can cause tube corrosion or erosion.

At GE Vernova, we have a deep understanding of how boilers work, regardless of the fuel or application, and we have developed a unique thermal spray cladding. AmStar 888 thermal spray cladding provides dependable and predictable waterwall protection for boiler tubes where high temperature gaseous corrosion and/or erosion may occur. Our proprietary metallurgy, surface preparation and high velocity continuous combustion (HVCC) application process resists cracking, spalling, and stress. With AmStar 888, you can significantly reduce your forced outage rate without affecting the heat absorption of the boiler tube.

Boiler plant tune-up and life extension

GE Vernova’s Steam Power business is one of the world’s largest and most experienced boiler service providers. Our boiler specialists visit plants across the globe to assess system conditions, troubleshoot performance issues, and collect the operational data needed to restore optimal combustion and efficiency. During a tune-up, our teams fine-tune fuel-air ratios, burner settings, controls, and draft conditions to help plants meet or exceed compliance requirements while improving reliability. For life-extension projects, we evaluate component wear, recommend targeted repairs or replacements, and apply engineering upgrades that enhance long-term performance.

Benefits:
