Electric Utility Chemistry Workshop, June 7-9, 2011, Champaign, IL, Exhibitors
Now in its 31st year, this comprehensive program features state-of-the-art information on controlling corrosion, improving operation efficiency, and meeting environmental challenges in fossil- and nuclear-fueled power plants. This year’s program is geared toward improved training and continuing education of personnel responsible for electric utility cycle and environmental chemistry. More than 3,000 chemists, consultants, and power plant administrators have attended the workshop since its inception in 1981. The 2011 program has been developed by a committee of representatives from midwestern electric utilities, the Illinois State Water Survey, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and consultants serving the power industry. Some of the most popular features of the workshop are the Utility Experience presentations. Seasoned professionals from utility companies discuss their experiences on a range of topics. The entire workshop has been structured to encourage participation from attendees.

Do Neutralizing Amines Have a Role in the Treatment of High Purity Boiler Feedwater? James (Jim) Robinson, Luis Carvalho, Robin Kluck, Richard Krichten, GE Power & Water – Water & Process Technologies Neutralizing amines have been widely used to treat high purity boiler feedwater since at least the 1940s. Notable benefits have been derived, however some consider the use of these amines to be risky. In addition the use of organic chemicals for boiler feedwater treatment often causes steam and condensate cation conductivity levels to exceed current power industry and steam turbine vendor guidelines. The benefits that can be derived and questions concerning the use of neutralizing amines are presented to help plant operators assess the potential value of using them in their systems.

Nuclear Power Plant Water Treatment Webinar - Hot Topic Hour July 1, 2010
Three industry experts provided presentations for the McIlvaine Hot Topic discussion on Nuclear Power Plant Water Treatment. • The first presentation was by Gregg Poppe of Dow Water & Process Solutions: ‘Reducing Chemicals and Waste with Advanced Water Purification Technology.’ This presentation addressed the three primary stages of effective water treatment including Pre-Treatment, Roughing, and Polishing. The importance of safe, reliable, efficient, and “green” environmentally sound practices was emphasized. Ultrafiltration using Dow tubular UF membranes was highlighted as an effective pre-treatment going into RO filtration. EDI was discussed as an effective polishing procedure that eliminates the need for chemical treatments. • The second presentation was by Timothy Rittof of Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies: ‘Nuclear Power Plant Water Treatment.’ This presentation discussed various clarification processes for non-process water including river water, reclaim (grey) water, and cooling tower blowdown water. The Actiflow and Actisoft clarifiers and softeners were discussed, along with disc filters and CeraMem filters by Veolia. Also discussed were energy recovery multi-effect-evaporators for the production of fresh water using waste heat from power plants. Veolia provides more than 40 years of experience in nuclear power plant water treatment. • The third presentation was by Anthony Rossi of GE Water & Process Technologies: ‘PWR Dispersant Review & Update, OptiSperse PWR6600.’ This presentation addressed the dispersion of iron oxides in steam generator (SG) systems using the OptiSperse polyacrylate dispersant, without any sulfates or chlorides. Testing showed very high dispersion activity with very low polyacrylate dosages. The effectiveness of the treatment at reducing corrosion, and thermo-hydraulic instabilities was discussed. Advantages include improved long-term thermal performance of the SG, potential for long-term reduction in routine off-line cleaning frequency, and the long-term goal of a reduction in frequency or complete avoidance of full bundle SG chemical cleaning.
