Management of modification of new heat recuperator system / Rahimi Ngah

The heat recuperator has been affecting the continuous operation of the Perwaja Direct Reduction Plant. The problems of heat recuperator are tubes crack, clogging at top of hot exhaust inlet gas and at bottom cold outlet gas. Intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking are problems associa...
