Targeted chlorination schedules
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) sponsored the development of targeted chlorination, a technique that uses chlorine effectively, improves thermal performance, and meets regulatory requirements for chlorine effluents. In 1986, targeted chlorination schedules and the effects on corrosion potential were investigated. A heat-exchanger test facility was constructed at the University of Miami to evaluate 12 chlorination scenarios. A chlorination predictive model was calibrated to help translate schedules to other sites. The results indicated that a 0.5 to 2 ppM dosage applied for 10 to 15 minutes, two or more times per day, can be successful in maintaining the cleanliness of condenser tubes. In 1987--1988, a full-scale demonstration was conducted at the Brayton Point Station -- Unit 2. 46 refs., 121 figs., 21 tabs.
