Importance of maintaining pH in boiler water
Maintaining the pH value of a boiler is important because it helps to prevent corrosion and scale buildup within the system. If the pH level of the boiler water is too low (acidic), it can cause corrosion of the metal surfaces in the boiler, including the tubes and pipes, whichRead More
Hydrazine Dosing in water treatment process used in power plant
Hydrazine dosing is a common water treatment process used in power plants to remove dissolved oxygen from the feedwater and condensate water systems. Dissolved oxygen can cause corrosion in the steam and condensate systems, which can lead to leaks and reduced system efficiency. Hydrazine reacts with the dissolved oxygen toRead More
Ammonia dosing in flue gas
Ammonia dosing is a water treatment process that is commonly used in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems in power plants. The process involves adding ammonia to the FGD wastewater, which reacts with the sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the flue gas to form ammonium sulfate. The ammonium sulfate is then removedRead More
Ammonia dosing in condensate water
Ammonia dosing is a common method used to maintain pH in boiler water, and it is recommended for most HRSGs to maintain pH at 25 degree centigrade temperature within a range of 9.6—10.0. Ammonia is a cheaper material used to maintain pH in boiler water, and it is known toRead More
Coal Firing Nozzles
The coal nozzle in a boiler furnace can be a significant factor in the efficient operation of the boiler system. Selecting the proper nozzle is important to ensure optimal fuel combustion and prevent problems such as slagging and fouling. According to Beckett Corporation, the fuel supplied to the nozzle mustRead More
