“…Additionally, there is a need for further research on safety protocols, hazard mitigation strategies, and risk assessment methodologies to ensure the reliable and sustainable operation of biomass gasification plants. In the recent study reported by our team, the pipelines from the scrubber region are affected due to producer gas, showing significant changes to structural integrity, hardness, and weight fluctuations [21]. The present study aimed to address the property change issues that occur in producer gas-influenced coated pipelines from the scrubber region of the system.…”

This research examines the performance of epoxy, ceramic, and graphene coatings on stainless steel 316 in a producer gas environment, focusing on corrosion and erosion resistance. This research aimed to identify the most effective coating for applications in harsh gasification environments. In this research, various analyses, including microstructural examination, hardness and weight measurements, FESEM analysis, and EDAX analysis, were conducted to evaluate the performance of the coatings. The producer gas was passed on to all the coated samples for a period of 100 hours. The significant findings include the superior corrosion and erosion resistance of ceramic-coated stainless steel, as evidenced by low weight fluctuations, maintained hardness levels, and elemental stability. Graphene coatings exhibit high hardness but increased porosity, raising concerns about durability, while epoxy coatings are vulnerable to gas-induced structural alterations. The inclusion rating analysis underscored the ceramic coatings' ability to preserve consistent material properties. Overall, ceramic coatings have emerged as the preferred option for gasification environments due to their structural resilience, inclusion integrity, and elemental stability. Considering the inclusion integrity, mechanical strength, weight stability, and elemental stability, ceramic-coated stainless steel 316 samples exhibit better resistance toward producer gas influence. This research contributes valuable insights for material selection in applications exposed to harsh gasification environments, emphasizing the importance of coating selection for long-term durability and performance.
