In the power plant, long-term efficient generation depends on minimizing corrosion and deposition within the steam/water cycle. Therefore, sodium in the power cycle must be maintained at deficient levels to shield turbines from corrosion and scaling. Water treatment performance and purity determination have depended on sodium measurement for nearly four decades. It is crucial for […]

Optimize Transmitter Installation Ensuring a proper, consistent set-up of multiple water panel transmitters is a time-consuming, manual process prone to errors. Pure water systems often require several transmitters to monitor various parameters. To simplify this task and reduce the risk of mistakes when trying to transfer the same configuration across multiple water panel transmitters manually, […]

Monitoring and controlling highly corrosive contaminants in power water cycle chemistry can significantly impact efficiency, meeting turbine warranty requirements, and more importantly, plant safety. Furthermore, regeneration costs for acid, caustic, rinse water, and labor are considerable. A unique, deionization capacity monitoring algorithm from METTLER TOLEDO monitors the exchange capacity of DI systems and accurately predicts […]

Chloride and sulfate are highly corrosive ions when present in the water/steam cycle of a power plant. They can damage critical components such as turbines, boilers and steam generator tubes, which can lead to unplanned shutdowns and reduced power generation efficiency. METTLER TOLEDO Thorntonʼs 3000CS Chloride/Sulfate Analyzer is an accurate and reliable, online analyzer for […]

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the most commonly overlooked contaminants in today’s power generation and industrial cogeneration. Controlling organics is important and is especially critical in cogeneration power/steam cycles, where the purified condensate water returning from production processes is subject to organic contamination. Organics present in power plant waters have a number of […]

POWER features a different power-related equipment category in selected issues throughout the year. This month’s showcase includes a variety of items used in the power generation industry, from pumps and

A major part of maintaining a power plant at peak efficiency is dealing with or preventing damage from corrosion and corrosive objects that can enter air and water intake systems, including pipes and fluid

As fossil plants look for new methods of minimizing corrosion, on-line analyzers are gaining importance. An analyzer for chloride and sulfate allows rapid response to rising levels of these corrosive ions. Learn more

Conductivity sensors can do more than just measure conductivity. Calculated values using conductivity data can provide valuable cycle chemistry information, confirm on-line sensor values, save time, and reduce costs. Learn more.

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) measurement continues to be an essential tool in power plant water chemistry to monitor chemical dosing and impurities which can initiate corrosion. Advances in sensor technology make ORP measurement easier than ever before. Read the article.

The most common causes of corrosion are low pH, the presence of dissolved gas (oxygen), under deposit attack, and areas weakened by mechanical stress which ultimately leads to fatigue cracking. Check out how to prevent it!

Learn about a proactive approach for predicting when resin exhaustion will occur that offers significant benefits over the traditional elapsed time and totalized flow methods.

Organic contamination in cogeneration water cycles is capable of causing process disruptions and catastrophic damage to expensive capital equipment. Key to confirming and troubleshooting organics removal is reliable on-line total organic carbon (TOC) measurement. Check out what If organics are in your cogen process water?

Continuous silica measurement is the best means to protect against contamination from spent anion resin and from steam carryover. Check out how to minimize risks of corrosion with accurate silica monitoring.

Check out how US major electricity and natural gas provider in the US Midwest detected ppb-level chloride and sulfateions accurately in their cycle chemistry and avoided plant shoutdown. Start monitoring your water-steam on-line and react quickly to any excursions.

The very low maintenance of optical sensors has transformed dissolved oxygen measurement at one of Brazil’s biggest power plants.

Corrosion products can form quickly in power plant systems if water, air, and metal are allowed to occupy the same space. Localized corrosion can take any of several distinct forms, such as stress corrosion
