The Research Committee on Corrosion and Deposits from Combustion Gases is comprised of approximately 20 technical experts who define and conduct laboratory and field projects, organize technical meetings and workshops, and publish information relevant to the behavior of combustion gases. Most of the research is conducted by the various institutions represented on the committee, with a smaller portion directed by the committee itself.

The principal focus of the committee is on stationary combustion systems such as utility boilers and industrial furnaces. The fuels most commonly causing corrosion and deposition problems include coal, biomass, black liquor, and occasionally fuel oil.

The committee actively seeks industrial and public sponsors that wish to address combustion-related problems with such fuels under the auspices of ASME. Please contact a committee member if you are interested in joining in these efforts.
