Given the need to end our dependence on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and reliable, geothermal energy can be a promising choice as a prominent source of energy. Geothermal energy systems are an established renewable energy resource with a long history of adaptable, reliable baseload generation. Conventional geothermal energy systems (GES) in the Western USA can provide almost 30 gigawatt electricity (GWe) of baseload.

This AMPP standard practice provides information for the material selection and welding procedures needed for optimum corrosion resistance of washwater discharge stub pipe in marine exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS, also known as scrubbers). The intended audience of the standard is shipyards, scrubber system manufacturers, installers, marine engineering firms, classification societies, flag state representatives (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard), ship owners, and ship operators.
This Technical Report provides sound technical information on the corrosion risk of exhaust gas scrubbers to ship owners, shipyards, marine engineers, scrubber designers and suppliers. Marine scrubbers used on ships are mainly wet scrubbers, which are open-loop, closed-loop, or hybrid types. Each system is discussed with respect to a description of each type of scrubber, washwater environments, materials of construction (metals and non-metals), pitfalls of inspection, fabrication, and welding of metals, service performance and applications history including descriptions of corrosion failures and successes, and repair and maintenance guidance.
Nowadays, titanium-based alloys are commonly used in biomedical applications as, for example, materials for dental implants or hip replacements. Their good corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and high mechanical properties for a relative weight make them good candidates. However, improvements in the design of these alloys for biomedical applications need to be made.
