Boiler Feed and Cooling Water Treatment is the Hot Topic Hour on Thursday,
December 6, 2012
Water sourcing issues, increased pressures for energy efficiency, and advanced
boiler designs make management and treatment of boiler feed and cooling water
even more important for today’s power plant operators. With increasing federal
and state regulations limiting access to surface and ground water, minimizing
water usage by reducing blowdowns or recirculating water become important
factors in the selection of water treatment methods. Optimum treatment will help
prevent chemical and flow corrosion in boiler water, steam and condensate
systems and elimination of scale. Prevention of corrosion and scale in
turn helps to ensure maximum life of boilers, steam turbines, condensers, pumps,
reduces maintenance expenses and allows optimal thermal performance providing
greater efficiency.
There are a wide variety of water treatment systems available, but which system
is most economical for a specific plant considering energy requirements,
chemical costs and performance. This decision is partially dictated by the
minerals and compounds in the raw water as well as the chemical and physical
composition of the raw water. In general, raw water from lakes, rivers or
wells is treated by aeration, coagulation, filtration and softening all well
established processes. However, shortages of natural raw water from the
traditional sources, the “greening“ of power plants and increasing stringent
regulations on disposal of water into surface waters or even holding ponds are
now forcing plants to consider reusing their process water. This adds a new
dimension to the problem of properly treating water before adding it as make-up
water in the boiler feed or cooling systems. The process water contains even
more contaminants and many at higher concentrations than typical natural water.
The following speakers will describe the latest technologies available or under
development to treat boiler feed and cooling water from natural and process
sources with emphasis on chemical usage, water usage, and typical water quality
that can be achieved using these technologies and discuss how to reduce the
consumption of chemicals and water while achieving better water quality and
lower operating costs and the economics of various treatment technologies
focusing on energy use, chemical requirements, capital costs, reuse of process
water and operation and maintenance costs and issues.
Brad Buecker,
Process Specialist with Kiewit Power Engineers, will provide an overview of the
most common and modern makeup water production methods, including reverse
osmosis, portable mixed-bed polishing and electrodeionization (EDI). He
will also briefly examine how some of these technologies are being utilized for
wastewater treatment, which is becoming a very critical issue at many
facilities. The ideas outlined in the presentation are also applicable for
make-up water treatment at many other industries.
Tom Muilenberg,
Senior Manager for Industrial Sales at MIOX Corporation
Stephen Dominick,
Regional Sales Manager for Ovivo Water USA, will present
"When Water Is Scarce, Where Can You Look for Water for Your Power Plant and
What Are the Methods Available to Condition It for Use?"
Bernhard Doll,
Dipl.-Ing., Vice President of Marketing for Industrial Water at
Pall GmbH, Germany, will discuss the “Significant
Cost Savings Obtained Using Advanced Membrane Systems for Cooling Tower Water
Treatment.”
Driven by the demand for continuous process
improvements to increase plant efficiency and lower customer costs, power plants
around the world are striving to upgrade conventional water treatment systems.
One way they are achieving this is by employing reliable membrane technologies
such as microfiltration. Case studies highlighting improvements in water quality
and improved economics, especially in cooling tower blowdown water treatment and
reuse will highlight the latest membrane technologies that can help power plants
reduce costs, improve processes and optimize water footprint.
Bob Bartholomew,
Associate at Sheppard T. Powell Associates, LLC, will discuss the causes and
present methods of controlling sources of dissolved oxygen in condensate systems
and in feedwater systems for heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) units. Low
dissolved oxygen concentration limits in condensate and in many feedwater
systems for HRSGs or conventional boilers can be difficult to maintain. He will
explain how this can be accomplished.

Air filtration is important not only for turbine protection but also to reduce
PM2.5 emissions - more at the Pneumafil stand #4456
We are hoping to arrange a discussion on Tuesday during the cocktail reception
at the Pneumafil stand to talk about air treatment prior to the gas turbine.
But since an efficient filter can reduce PM2.5 emissions on the
outlet, we would like to cover this as well. Glen England of Environ will
be giving a speech on gas turbine PM2.5 emissions so we are hoping
his schedule will permit him to participate in this discussion. When he was at
GE he was co-author of a report which quantified emissions from a number of gas
turbines. This paper can be reviewed at:
Mcleod Stephens of Pneumafil points out that “gas turbine inlet filtration
systems are typically very efficient on particles that are larger than 1µ. In
fact, our MATREX Media for pulse style systems has an initial efficiency of 99.5
percent on particles in the range of: 2.02 µ – 3.0 µ. The efficiency goes
up from there as the operating hours click by.
Static filtration can be even higher. “You can talk to him and the other

Future Electricity Mix Depends on the Price of Oil
The role that gas will play in power generation depends on the price of oil as
much as on other variables.
The world’s demand for electricity is rising at twice the rate of total energy
consumption. Greater reliance on all generation sources will be needed in
order to meet the demand. This is the conclusion reached in Fossil &
Nuclear Power Generation: World Analysis & Forecast published by the
McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Coal combustion will remain the leading generation technology. In the
2010-2025 period, Chinese coal-fired generation will increase by as much as its
nuclear, wind and hydropower combined.
McIlvaine forecasts that new coal-fired capacity worldwide will average 160,000
MW/yr over the next ten years at a total annual investment of $300 billion.
More than 50 percent of this construction will be for replacement of retiring
units.
Nuclear generation will increase modestly through 2035, but the share of total
capacity will drop slightly.
In the next two decades, more than 40 percent of new capacity will be based on
renewable energy including solar, wind, hydro and biomass. This percentage
will vary based on the real pricing. Subsidiaries for renewables will
disappear. However, a carbon tax would result in more renewables.
The price of electricity is expected to rise by 0.5 to 1 percent per year.
This future of gas-fired power will depend on this price plus the price of oil
and the extraction cost of shale gas. Shale gas will be used in gas
turbine power generation facilities only if:
·
The extraction cost is low compared to electricity prices.
·
Power generation is the highest margin use.
This production of shale gas in the Marcellus region has dropped recently
because extraction costs are high relative to gas prices. The extraction
costs of shale gas are greater than non-associated on-shore gas.
Coal-fired generation costs will set the price of electricity. So for gas
to compete, extracted costs have to be relatively low.
There are many alternative uses for gas. It can be used directly for home
heating. It can be liquefied and exported (LNG). It can be converted
to high quality motor fuels. If the price of oil remains at
$80-$100/barrel, it will be more attractive for gas rich regions to either
convert the gas-to-liquids or to liquefy and export it.

World Pump Sales to Grow 25 Percent to $46 Billion in 2017
World industrial pump sales will grow at 4 percent/yr to $46 billion in 2017.
This is the latest forecast in Pumps World Markets published by the
McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
The forecast is in constant
2010 dollars. When inflation is included, revenues will rise by
more than 5 percent/yr over the next five years.
The revenue growth rate for the largest pump suppliers will exceed the 5 percent
average for two reasons:
Projections for revenue growth by the companies and independent analysts have
been tabulated.

Xylem generates 70 percent of its revenues from its “transport” or pump group.
The other 30 percent comes from “trial” and “test.” Analysts are expecting
close to 6 percent revenue growth in 2013.
Analysts anticipate an average growth of 6 percent for the second largest
supplier, Flowserve. Relatively high rates of growth are forecast for
Sulzer, Weir, KSB and Schlumberger. GE is projecting relatively low
growth. However, its pump group generates a small share of total revenues.

$40 Billion World Site Remediation Annual Market by 2015
The market for products and services to remediate groundwater and soils will
exceed $40 billion annually by 2015. While the U.S will remain the largest
market, its share will shrink substantially as expenditures soar in war ravaged
and developing countries.

In China, 30 percent of the usable land is considered contaminated. Soil
remediation expenditures in China are predicted to reach $6.4 billion per year
by 2015 or 15 percent of the total world market for that year.
FMC in a partnership with BCEG Environmental Remediation Co. and BRISEA will
pursue this market with the offering of services and chemicals.
The market for chemicals and microbial cultures includes applications in pump
and treat where activated carbon and other products are used to purify
recirculating water. Chemicals which release oxygen and microbial consortia
which foster in situ bioremediation have become increasingly popular.
The former Soviet Union countries represent a substantial market. The Russian
government has allocated $620 million for cleanup at three zones designated as
nature reserves.
Canada has begun the second phase of a 15-year plan to remediate 22,000 sites at
a cost of $7.7 billion. The cost to remediate Canadian soil and water
contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbon is estimated at $1 billion.
The market for continuous analyzers to measure contaminants in ground and
surface water is growing at double-digit rates. One reason is the new reliance
on monitoring and natural attenuation as a remediation solution. Another is the
desire by would be polluters to establish baselines prior to the conduct of
operations which are potentially harmful. The contamination of some water
supplies in Pennsylvania could be natural and not a result of shale gas
extraction. So shale gas operators are investing in baseline monitoring systems
to protect themselves from future liabilities.
The participants in the market are increasingly international in their scope of
operations. ThermoFisher is expanding both in terms of geographic reach and
products to serve the remediation market. In selected Asian countries, it is
marketing the remediation products of Regenesis. It plans to make China its
second largest market after the U.S.
Large U.S. based consulting companies such as URS, Black & Veatch, AECOM and
others are expanding their remediation activities internationally. To extend its
sustainable remediation technical expertise and best practices across AECOM,
more than 70 environmental practitioners have been trained on AECOM’s new
process for rapidly screening best management practices to improve remediation
portfolio performance.
