Water Treatment Chemicals for Combined Cycle Plants Is Part of New Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program
We have expanded coverage of water treatment chemicals for combined cycle power plants. Our new supplier program allows you to interface with end users, identify projects and increase sales. We have a special section in our market report with the market for chemicals for these applications. Here is one excerpt:
WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS
Supply water for HRSGs in combined cycle gas turbine power plants contains impurities that can impair the operation of the HRSG, and lead ultimately to permanent damage to the HRSG and other system equipment including turbines, pumps, condensers and piping. These impurities can be in the form of minerals, gases such as oxygen and CO2, various other chemicals and microbiological organisms. The results of these impurities can be corrosion and deposition of scale within the HRSG and elsewhere. Oxygen attack and carbonic acid (H2CO3) attack are common causes of corrosion. Deposition of carbonates is a cause of scale buildup. The purpose of water filtration and chemical treatment is to prevent corrosion and scale buildup.
Water treatment for any given HRSG installation is a complex process that reflects many factors including the quality of the raw water, the operating pressure and temperature of the HRSG, the application of the HRSG and the metallurgy of all system components. Usually the water treatment program consists of complex blends of multiple and carefully balanced chemicals and catalysts. For larger systems, intermittent or continuous online monitoring of water conditions for conductivity, pH, ORP, and dissolved oxygen are performed to track the effectiveness of water treatment processes.
Oxygen reduction through the use of oxygen scavengers such as sodium sulfite has been a common practice for many years. However, water treatment regimes are different for high pressure boilers as compared to low pressure boilers. As an example, increasing numbers of high pressure utility boilers make use of oxygenated treatment (OT) to minimize corrosion within the boiler by using small amounts of carefully controlled and injected oxygen to promote development of a passivation layer consisting of hematite. This practice is widely used in Europe, and increasingly in the United States among utility power producers. Also, increasing use of reverse osmosis filtration systems is changing requirements for chemicals for large utility boilers, and a growing number of lower pressure industrial process boilers as well.
The following table provides a list of common boiler water treatment chemicals by function:

$700 Million will be spent for Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals in Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Power Plants this Year
In 2014, the total market for water and wastewater treatment chemicals will exceed $25 billion. Of this total, $4.9 billion will be spent by the power industry. The biggest segment will be coal-fired power. The nuclear segment will also be significant. The gas-fired segment will be close in size to nuclear. More than $700 million will be spent for treatment chemicals in gas turbine and combined cycle power plants. This includes the generators in the large utility plants, but also those used in oil and gas extraction and processing, refining and by other industrial operators. These forecasts segmented by region and then by 80 countries and sub regions are displayed and updated continually in
Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market, published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)Seventy-five thousand MW of new utility electrical generating turbines will be added this year to a world base of 1,100,000 MW already installed. In addition, a large number of smaller turbines will be purchased by industrial plants which are generating electricity and steam or are compressing gases and use gas turbines to provide the compression power.
Many gas turbines are operated in conjunction with a steam turbine in the combined cycle mode. Treatment chemicals are used to purify the water which will be used to make steam, to prevent corrosion and scaling in the steam cycle and to treat the raw water which will be used for cooling. The blowdown from the cooling cycle must also be treated.
Some turbines are operated in the simple cycle mode, so no water is necessary for cooling. However, even these units require fogging or inlet air cooling systems using deionized water. Hence, water treatment is necessary. For combined cycle operation dry cooling is becoming more popular. However, the vast majority of systems use wet cooling towers. Companies such as Nalco and GE have automated chemistry systems to measure the parameters and add chemicals to maximize the number of times the water can be recycled.
The cooling water blowdown requires treatment chemicals. Zero liquid discharge systems are becoming popular. These require various filtration and evaporation steps all with water treatment chemical requirements.
