Troubleshooting Solutions
The following is a list of Jonas, Inc. developed and field tested solutions and equipment applicable to solving problems with fossil and nuclear utility and industrial steam and water cycles:
Prevention of Corrosion and Deposition (boilers, turbines, piping, condensers, heaters, ...)
Customized Guidelines for Fossil Fuel Utility Plants, Industrial Units, and Combined Cycle Units
Optimization of Water Chemistry Control (shorter startups, minimize feedwater system corrosion, boiler carry-over, makeup, condensate polishers, deaeration, cost of chemicals, sampling and instrumentation, layup, ...)
Training - Operators, Chemists
Turbine MW and Efficiency Loss: deposits, erosion, corrosion, foreign object damage
Turbine Washing: after chemistry upsets; to remove deposits
Reduction of Boiler Scale and Chemical Cleaning Frequency
Erosion-Corrosion Prediction: wall thinning
Deaerator and Blowdown Flash Tank Cracking Evaluation
Exfoliation and Foreign Object Damage Monitoring; prediction of solid particle erosion
Boiler Orifice Plugging; reduction of overheat and creep failures of boiler waterwall tubes
Feedwater Flow Control Valve Plugging; preventing loss of generating capacity
Feedwater Heater Tube/Tube Sheet Plugging
Storage Tank and Deaerator Nitrogen Sparging/Blanketing Systems; better startup water chemistry, shorter startups, less corrosion and boiler scale
Isokinetic Steam and Water Sampling Nozzles; reduction of sampling errors
Turbine Deposit Collector/Simulator with Optional Flow Totalizer: hooked up to a steam line, external to the turbine
Nuclear Piping Integrity and Life Monitoring and Code: prediction of fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, erosion-corrosion, etc.
Continuous Steam and Air Blow Monitoring for Boiler, Superheater, and Reheater Cleaning: saving time and energy, better results
Flue Gas Particulate Monitor: online, inline; no sampling; EPA related; bag houses, electrostatic precipitators
Fugitive Dust Monitor
Hydraulic Fluid Leak Monitor
Leak Detection: pipes, valves, etc.  -  internal and external leaks
Water Induction and Entrainment Monitors
Icing Monitor: cooling tower and other applications
Valve Packing Leaks: precise hydraulic pre-loading equipment and service
Pipe Flange Gasket Leaks:  precise hydraulic loading equipment and service
Air Inleakage - Turbine Rupture Disc and Manhole Covers:  fix without shut down
Monitoring of Heat and Moisture Contents of Steam
