Twenty years of oxygenated treatment on Russian supercritical plants
- G.M. Krzhizhanovsky Power Engineering Institute (ENIN), Moscow (Russian Federation)
The oxygenated treatment (OT) in Russia was first (1973-74) introduced at the 300 MWe Konakovo Supercritical units (SCU). The advantage of OT over AVT especially in rising the reliability of low-radiation boiler section (LRS) promoted to conversion the working units on OT and putting into operation the new SCUs directly with OT. All Russian supercritical plants, besides two of them, operate currently with OT. The conversion of units on OT doesn`t demand much expenditures. OT is simple and reliable. The OT introduction makes the main difficulty connected with the existance of stable stereotype for ammonia feed and supporting the oxygen concentration in feedwater less than 5 ppb. The staff of two mentioned plants gave proof of devotion to AVT by its wide application in the USA and Japan. Now the units with once through boilers at these countries are intensively conversed on OT. It is possible to hope that this circumstance will dismiss at last the stereotype of oxygen fear.
