A chimney in the geothermal power generation industry serves to discharge flue gases from the combustion or vapour removal process from the boiler to the atmosphere. Although geothermal power plants use geothermal heat as the main energy source, if there are additional fuels used, such as coal or gas, a chimney is needed to remove combustion emissions.

Some chimney problems and solutions that you need to know are:

1. Problem: Chimney Paint

To protect chimneys from corrosion caused by heat transfer and harsh industrial environments, it is crucial to use anti-corrosion paint that is both heat-resistant and capable of withstanding extreme conditions. This paint must maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of the chimney over an extended period.

One of the main factors to consider is the paint’s ability to endure the high temperatures generated by exhaust gases. Chimneys often experience very high temperatures, especially in industrial installations, so the paint must be able to withstand these temperatures without discoloration or losing its anti-corrosion properties.
