The VGB directive R 109 "Material specification for components under pressure in fossil-fired power plants" applies to the steam boiler assembly and pipelines of the water/ steam circulation. It shall clearly determine the delivery contract and the subsequent contract administration between customer, manufacturer and material manufacturer or supplier and thus enable a rationalisation of the order and order processing. The material specification provides a collection of experiences and recommendations compiled to the best of knowledge and coordinated between the parties involved in the construction of the power plant. It intends to summarise the requirements on material manufacturers or suppliers and on the provision of materials for pressure equipment usually used in the 600 °C power plant generation to facilitate the order basis between the parties involved. Regulations from data sheets and directives exceeding the requirement of the EN standards, were textually integrated to a large extent.

The Guideline was revised and the chapter 14 "Requirements on filler material" added.

The Guideline is bilingual (German/English).

Within the next years keywords such as water scarcity, water pollution and water aid projects will become more and more familiar to the broad public as well as put into focus. On the Global Environment Day in Beirut 2003, it was reported that the available water quantity per person in the MENA region (Middle East North Africa) in 1960 averaged out to 3,300 cubic metres. In 2003, this quantity had decreased to only 1,200 cubic metres. Water projects are discussed and realised all over the world. Already today water supply is closely connected to politics. In the future, the distribution of the limited water resources will depend worldwide on the sense of responsibility of international politics and the globalized society.

Legal requirements differ between different regions. With product quality regulations combustion residues can be applied as qualified by-products and step out of the waste image. New flue gas cleaning systems are installed in many new or existing large combustion plants. For this reason an intensive exchange of experience with operators of existing flue gas cleaning systems is necessary. Respecting experience with existing flue gas cleaning systems reduces problems during start up and continuous operation of new systems.
