Customized Steam Cycle Water Chemistry Guidelines
For Fossil Fuel Utility, Industrial, and Combined Cycle Units
Description
These comprehensive Guidelines, customized for a specific unit, cover water and steam chemistry control for utilities, industrial units, and combined cycles for any type of water treatment. These Guidelines also discuss the basics of water chemistry and corrosion control, management aspects, and cycle design, provide rationale and a description of cycle chemistry control, give operating limits for condensate, feedwater, boiler water, steam, makeup, and return condensate, and specify action levels, monitoring, sampling, and instrumentation.
The Guidelines relate the cycle and component design to selection of water treatment and cover normal operation, startups, and layup. Chemical cleaning, quality control of water treatment chemicals and ion exchange resins, control of chemical contamination by extraneous substances and problem recognition, operator actions, and engineering solutions to problems are also discussed.
Note: Guidelines are customized based on need and type of operation.
