Power-station Chemistry
Evaluation of Water Chemistry in Power Plants
Inappropriate chemical properties of water can cause formation of scale, deposits and corrosion on the water side, thus impairing or even disabling the intended function of power plants. The properties of the materials used play a key role in this context.
TÜV SÜD services:
- Support regarding the adaptation and improvement of the chemical operation of water/ steam circuits in power plants with respect to formation of protective layers, corrosion behaviour, selection of materials
- Physical and chemical investigations of operational parameters through on-line measurement of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen and conductivity
- Complex failure analyses with the involvement of experts, based on the key criteria of uninterrupted operation such as medium influences, material behaviour and operating factors
- Development of suitable plant optimisation measures
Your business benefits:
- Reliable determination of chemical and physical data
- Optimisation from the perspectives of water and corrosion chemistry, process and safety engineering, efficiency and profitability
- Analysis of the causes underlying corrosion and the formation of scale and deposits
- Maintenance and restoration of the intended function
- Impartial third-party quality assurance
