“Demineralization and Degasification of Boiler Feedwater in Gas Turbine Combined
Cycle Plants” - Hot Topic Hour - August 28 at 10 a.m. Central Time
The webinar on August 28 will focus 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 will
be focused on the unique needs of combined cycle power plants. This
includes the need for rapid cycling due to the role of the 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 will provide 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 will be relating the desired measurements to the reasons why they are
important. For example, cationic conductivity is a conductivity
measurement after cation exchange: Allcations, 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 will summarize 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 attack has 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.
