An EPRI workshop to address solid particle erosion of utility steam turbines was hosted by Tennessee Valley Authority in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on November 13-15, 1985. The attendees represented a broad spectrum of US and Foreign utilities, architect engineering firms, equipment vendors, and engineering consultants. These proceedings contain the text of the formal presentations as well as summaries of the working group sessions on selected topics relevant to solid particle erosion. The formal presentations were organized under the following general session titles: Utility Experience with Solid Particle Erosion; Solid Particle Erosion Source Reduction; Protection of Steam Turbines Against Solid Particle Erosion; and Turbine Performance, Diagnostics, and Monitoring Considerations. In addition to the formal presentations, working group discussion sessions were held on topics of particular interest to workshop participants. Each group provided a forum for engineers to exchange ideas and information in a less formal environment. The discussions focused on key issues in more detail and addressed subjects not covered in the formal presentations. The working group sessions covered the following topics: Refurbishment of Eroded Turbine Components; Solid Particle Erosion Source Reduction; Operating Methods to Reduce SPE Damage; and Impact of SPE on Turbine Performance; Diagnosis and Monitoring of SPE. Twenty papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
