6. The costs of corrosion damage in the back end of power plants are very site specific value. Comments from peer reviewers ran the gamut of "this seems too high" to "our costs are four to five times this" referring to the $500,000 per year estimate.
7. This value was provided by a utility peer reviewer in reference to his plant. Due to cost sensitivity concerns, the source will not be identified.

12. The "25% reduction in carbon consumption" and benefit value of were the subject of contradictory feedback from peer reviewers also. Some thought the 25% reduction value was "very conservative," while others noted that they felt a benefit of several million dollars "seems excessive."
