14-24: Pairing Two Proprietary Technologies Key to Power Plant Efficiency Standards and Specifications

14-24: Pairing Two Proprietary Technologies Key to Power Plant Efficiency Standards and SpecificationsA zero liquid discharge power plant, with five ppm of iron in the make up water, had been experiencing condenser fouling for over twenty years. The plant was shut down two to three times per year to clean the condenser in order to maintain efficient power production. The condenser and fill fouling was estimated to cost the plant approximately 5% in lost efficiency. Major changes were implemented to the traditional microbiological control, deposit

In summary

how it could affect plant equipment or plant processes will be included

depending upon their materials of construction and location in the cooling system

there is no common rating standard for axial impellers

It has become more necessary to control molybdate levels to optimize performance versus cost in corrosion inhibition

This standard sets forth specifications

The theory of corrosion and accepted methods of corrosion protection are examined

and by creating an environment for destructive and pathological organisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRBs) and Legionella pneumophila

This paper will address some of the unexpected events that surfaced during activation of the cooling tower systems

Measuring the actual biocide level in the system over time can also enhance the control of the system

In such situations

The paper will explain how changes to one part of the tower can affect all the other parts of the tower: Such as selecting the economic size of the tower
