Water Treatment Chemicals for Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants - Hot
Topic Webinar on September 25 at 10:00 a.m.
Central
This webinar will be both organizational and informative. It is all part of a
whole knowledge system for gas turbine combined cycle plant operators --
Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Decisions
. The free website and periodic webinars empower the operators to
buy the best products rather than the most familiar or least expensive.
The webinar on the 25th will try to answer the question: What are
the imost important and difficult decisions you will have to make regarding
treatment chemicals? On August 28 we conducted a webinar on
Degasification and Demineralization.
One of the discussions was on Improving
Silica Removal by EDI and GTM by Michael Snow, Snowpure.
Is there a need for a treatment chemical to compliment the EDI and GTM?
Another discussion was on
Control of Flow-Accelerated Corrosion in Steam
Generators by Brad Buecher, Kiewit - Hot Topic Hour 8-28-14.
Is there chemical treatment to reduce FAC as well?
These are the types of pertinent questions that the operators want answered.
Others would be:
With fast start HRSGS and constant cycling, what chemical additions will counter
some of the negative consequences of this operating mode?
If use ACC instead of wet cooling and have increased iron content, how do you
solve this problem?
What are the water chemistry issues facing GTCC operators which are unique to
this type of power generation?
What are the chemical treatment needs if zero liquid discharge technology is
mandated?
What are the chemical treatment recommendations if treated municipal wastewater
is selected for the cooling or even the boiler feedwater?
How do you keep fogging nozzles from plugging and also prevent introduction of
contaminants which will cause turbine blade build up?
What other questions are GTCC operators asking? This webinar is free
for power plants?

59EI Gas
Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program
“Demineralization and Degasification of Boiler Feedwater in Gas Turbine Combined
Cycle Power Plants” Was the Hot Topic Hour on August 28
The webinar on August 28 focused on demineralization and degasification in
combined cycle gas turbine plants. Participants can review lots of information
ahead of time posted to
Degasification and Demineralization. This
website covers semiconductor, pharmaceutical, nuclear and coal
applications. However, this webinar focused on the unique needs of combined
cycle power plants. This includes the need for rapid cycling due to the role of
the gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) in supplementing wind and solar. Many new
gas turbine plants are using treated municipal wastewater which presents its own
set of problems.
Tom Tschanz
of the McIlvaine Company provided the initial overview.
Deaeraton with forced and induced draft designs, degasification with vacuum
degasifiers and membranes will be analyzed. Locations including pre treatment,
post treatment and condensate return will be reviewed. The advantages of the
Membrana membrane approach will be compared to alternative mechanical approaches
and to the chemical approach which entails continuing chemical cost plus energy
consumption and water cost with excess blowdown.
Ion exchange will be compared to electrodeionizaton.
Michael Snow president of
Snowpure will present the case for electrodeionization. He will address concerns
relative to the capability to handle the flow from a large GTCC with the higher-capacity
EXL™ product.
Ken Kuruc
of Hach related the desired measurements to the reasons why they are important.
For example, cationic conductivity is a conductivity measurement after cation
exchange: allocations, and, therefore, ammonium ions (NH4+), are removed and
converted into hydrogen ions (H+). Inorganics (chloride, sulfates) and organics
(acetate, formate) anions present (counter ion of cations, Cl-, SO42-) can be
easily determined because they are in their highly conductive acidic form (H+,
Cl- ; 2H+, SO42-). Any increase in cationic conductivity highlights anionic
contamination. A detailed analysis of the instruments, processes and measurement
locations by Hach is posted on the site.
Brad Bueker
of Kiewit summarized from direct experience and also the extensive work of
personnel at organizations such as the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)
to show that the reducing environment produced by oxygen scavengers initiates
and propagates flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) in the feedwater system and
other components of high pressure steam generators, including heat recovery
steam generators (HRSGs). Since 1986, FAC induced attacks have caused numerous
failures, some with fatalities, at a number of power plants in the U.S. Yet,
specifications for new power plants, most of which are now combined cycle units,
often continue to call for oxygen scavenger feed to the condensate, even though
the feedwater system typically contains no copper alloys. He presented a paper
on this subject at IWC. We will seek permission to reproduce it for the site.
The webinar was free-of-charge to power plant owners. To register:

Mexico’s gross domestic product fell less-than-expected in the last quarter,
according to official data.
Mexican GDP 1.6% vs. 1.5% forecast. In a report, Insituto Nacional de
Estadistica Y Geografia said that Mexican GDP fell to a seasonally adjusted
1.6%, from 1.8% in the preceding quarter. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
India
Reserve Bank of India has projected around 5.5% GDP growth for 2014-15 after two
painful years of sub-5% growth, as the new government focuses on fiscal
consolidation and is taking steps to clear stalled industrial and construction
projects to shake up a stagnating economy.
This is in line with the projections made at the start of 2014-15 and RBI is now
looking at the prospect of a sustainable 7% growth in the medium term if the
government takes the reforms process forward in the areas of industry, services,
international trade, labor markets, public sector management and financial
markets.
"The Indian economy stands at crossroads that could take it from a slow bumpy
lane to a faster highway," RBI said in its annual report for 2013-14. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Israel
War is supposed to be “good” for the economy, according to some experts, by
boosting government spending — but that hasn’t happened in Israel’s conflict
with Hamas in Gaza. The travel industry is in a shambles, tourism’s summer high
season is ruined, and much-needed work isn’t getting done because 50,000 reserve
soldiers, most of them members of the workforce, are otherwise occupied on the
front lines. This is in addition to the expense of the war itself.
It was inevitable that the war would have an impact on the economy, according to
Psagot Investment House. In its report, the group put the cost of the war at a
quarter of a percent of what had been an expected 2.9% growth in GDP for 2014.
Taking into account the losses to business, the expenses the government is
facing, and the cost of repairing the economic damage, the report bumps down the
expected growth rate for Israel for the year to 2.4% – taking into account the
possibility that the war will last for another week and a half. If it goes
longer, Psagot said, it may have to revise its figures again.
Even so, Psagot predicted the losses would be temporary.
The group made its assessment on the basis of another “summer war” — the Second
Lebanon War, which took place during July and August of 2006. The war also hurt
tourism and required extensive resources to repair buildings that were damaged
by Hezbollah rockets. Iron Dome, which has spared lives and property this time
by intercepting incoming rockets, had not been invented yet. While far fewer
buildings have been damaged in the current war, Psagot said, that “gain” is
wiped out by the fact that life in many more cities in the center of the country
are being affected in many ways by Hamas rockets. Hezbollah was unable to reach
farther south than Hadera, while Hamas rockets have hit Tel Aviv and well to the
north. . (The remaining text is not
