Title: Advanced gas-turbine steam-injection program water treatment for steam-injected gas-turbine systems. Topical report, October 1987-March 1989

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5531427

Water availability, treatment costs, and resultant water quality to ensure technical reliability and economic feasibility of a power plant were determined to define options for reliable, yet cost-effective, water-treatment processes for advanced cogeneration cycles. A review of corrosion and deposition principles for both combustion and steam systems was conducted to identify the most detrimental contaminants causing corrosion and deposition in gas-turbine systems. Specifications for the maximum levels of these contaminants were established for turbine combustion gases and steam boiler (i.e., blowdown) water, and treatment process product water. A Base Case water treatment process recommended for the water treatment system by the water treatment companies contacted includes multimedia and carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, and demineralization.
