Description
Delivered in a PDF format, this guidebook exclusively features corrosion and chemistry articles for power plants. All content was previously published in POWER magazine, including full charts, photographs, graphs, and step-by-step instructions for plant operators and engineers.
Articles Include
- Load Cycling and Boiler Metals: How to Save Your Power Plant
Coal-fired plants designed for baseload service face new stresses when cycled. Understanding and mitigating these effects can prevent premature component failure and maintain reliable operation. - The Role of Fireside Corrosion on Boiler Tube Failures, Part I & II
- Corrosion Protection for FGD Vessels
- Defeating Concrete Reinforcing Steel Corrosion
Case study on four cooling towers at a coal-fired plant, detailing repair selection, execution, and verification three years later. - Winning the Cooling Tower Trifecta: Controlling Corrosion, Scale, and Microbiological Fouling
Simultaneous management of corrosion, scale, and microbial fouling is critical for effective cooling water chemistry. - Protect Your Stack Linings from Corrosion
- Prevent Contamination and Corrosion in Demineralized Water Storage Tanks Using Nitrogen Sparging and Blanketing
- A Primer on Gas Turbine Failure Modes
Identifying and anticipating turbine failures reduces the risk of expensive unplanned outages. - Covered Piping Systems O&M Programs for CCGT Plants
- Cation Conductivity Monitoring: A Reality Check
- Preventing Dust Accumulation on Beams
- Robotic Underwater Debris Remover
- Nut, Bolt, and Flange Face Corrosion Protection
- How to Measure Corrosion Processes Faster and More Accurately
Guidance on oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) monitoring for feedwater systems to ensure reliable plant operation. - More Strategies for Inspecting HRSGs in Two-Shift and Low-Load Service
- Microbial Control in Cooling Water Improves Plant Performance
Maintaining microbial inhibition despite varying water sources, processes, and discharge permits can prevent heat rate degradation. - Selecting a Combined Cycle Water Chemistry Program
Essential for high-pressure, high-temperature, and fast-start cycling plants. No universal chemistry program exists; strategies must be tailored to the plant. - Battling White Rust
- Cycle Chemistry Commissioning Deserves Its Own Strategy
- ORP as a Predictor of WFGD Chemistry and Wastewater Treatment
System ORP can predict wet flue gas desulfurization absorber chemistry, process equipment corrosion, and wastewater treatment needs.
