VGB-Standard
The present VGB-Standard covers all aspects of preservation. This standard provides operators, manufactur- 2nd Edition
ers and planners with a basic framework on how and to what extent the steam turbines, gas turbines and
generators are to be treated.
The editorial team has decided to take the steam turbine and the generator from the VGB-R 116 “Pres-
ervation of Power Plants” (republished as VGB-S-116-00-2016-04-EN “Preservation of Power Plants”), VGB-S-036-00-2017-04-EN
to add a section on the gas turbine and to publish both together in this revised VGB standard “VGB-
S-036-00-2017-04”.
This VGB-Standard can be used analogously to protect other plant components in the power plant against
corrosion. It is prepared to the best of our professional knowledge, but does not claim to be complete.
By its very nature, this VGB-Standard is a recommendation and therefore cannot replace the expertise of the
users.
In principle, however, in addition to the recommendations and measures for protecting the assets by preser-
vation as described below, the manufacturer’s instructions and the specifications from the operating manuals
must also be observed.
