HC Deb 06 June 1967 vol 747 cc176-7W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Power if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the steam conditions for each of the stations under construction or planned by the Central Electricity Generating Board; what are the results of recent research into the introduction of magnesium hydroxide into the combustion chamber of an oil-fired electricity generating plant as a means of preventing high temperature corrosion; what improvement in steam conditions will follow recent work on this problem; and to what stations the improvement can be applied.

Mr. Freeson

Information about steam conditions at C.E.G.B. stations under construction or planned as at 31st March, 1966, is given in Appendix 3 of the Board's Annual Report for 1965–66.

Research into the prevention of corrosion was mentioned in Chapter 5 of the Board's report for 1965–66, and this research is continuing.
