FY05-FY13 Players: industry, universities, national laboratories, FETC Milestones: · Complete bench-scale development (FY10)
From page 132...
... Vision 21 plants will require advanced new erosion and corrosion resistant refractories to serve as vessel liners for gasifiers, pyrolyzers, and combustors, and as pipe liners for the hostile high-temperature environments that will be present in these plants. This work will require a cooperative effort between national laboratories developing the materials and the industrial users where testing will be performed.
