1985 fossil plant water chemistry symposium: Proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6881494

A three day EPRI Symposium devoted to water chemistry, corrosion, and scale control in fossil utility steam cycles was held June 11-13, 1985 in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the Symposium was to review and discuss US and foreign practices, corrosion control requirements for boilers, turbines, and other cycle components, sampling and instrumentation, and problems with cycling units. After the introductory session which included a review of cost of corrosion and scale, the Symposium was organized in five sessions: Component and Cycle Chemistry; Current US Utility Practices; Sampling, Analysis, and instrumentation; Foreign Approach and Experience; and Cycling Units. Four parallel Working Groups had one half day discussions and formulated conclusions and recommendations. All technical papers, results of Working Group discussions, and a Summary of a Questionnaire expressing experience and opinions of utility participants are included in these proceedings. Results of the Symposium will serve US utilities in improving their practices, designers to improve cycle and component design, and EPRI to better identify R and D needs. Papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA.
