Course Description

The production of electrical energy generally involves high-pressure steam production in a steam generator (boiler).  The term “high pressure” normally refers to the range of 900 psig (63 kg/cm2) to well above the supercritical pressure 3508 psig ( 247 kg/cm2). Steam temperatures for many of these boilers are often at least 1,000o F, with some modern units operating at 1,050 to 1,100oF.  Conditions inside these units are very demanding, requiring high-purity makeup water, with precise chemical treatment and monitoring to minimize corrosion and deposit formation. The 1990s brought the emergence of combined-cycle power generation, in which combustion turbine exhaust gases provide the energy for steam production in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs). Most common are triple-pressure HRSGs, with a high-, medium-, and low-pressure boiler (evaporator).  Such configurations add complexity to chemistry control.  Many power plants today are no longer base-loaded, but rather cycle up and down in load, or on and off which imposes a greater degree of complexity to the cycle chemistry control.  Cycling has a profound impact on both operational and off-line chemistry, and on corrosion protection.  Impurity ingress from a condenser tube leak or other source can cause immense problems if not corrected quickly.  The use of reducing agents (“oxygen scavengers”) in condensate/feedwater loops is now considered not to be a best practice.  And even minor carryover of impurities with the steam can cause major problems in the turbines of power plants.

This comprehensive course reviews the entire water-steam cycle, including the various forms of waterside degradation and corrosion that may occur in the feedwater/condensate, boiler/HRSG, and steam circuits. The various chemical water treatment programs for feedwater, boiler and steam are presented in detail.  Also covered are the monitoring and troubleshooting aspects of modern power plant chemistry as well as the most common configurations of boiler feedwater preparation plant. Although both conventional and combined-cycle plants are included, the emphasis of this course is on the latter type of unit. This course encompasses best practice concepts throughout.

This course is very practically oriented and focused on best practices.  Lots of invaluable insights are shared. The instructor has 34+ years of experience in high-pressure steam plant systems.

Online Courses / Webinars Withdrawal, Cancellation and Rescheduling

By registering for an online training course or webinar organised by Industrial Water Treatment Academy (iwtA) you agree to the following Training Cancellation policy as well to our general Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy (both available on our website iwtacademy.com), regardless of whether such registration was made through iwtacademy.com website or via email, telephone, or any other means.

If you wish to withdraw from an online training event (online course or webinar), you must first advise us by email, and include the official payment receipt.  Our policies regarding refunds are:

  • You may cancel online-based training bookings at any time.
  • If you cancel more than 10 (ten) business days before the training event:  the full amount will be refunded minus a US$75.00 and a US$35.00 administration charge for an online course and webinar, respectively.
  • If you cancel between 3 and 9 business days before the training event: 50% of the full amount paid will be refunded.
  • If you cancel less than 3 (three) business days in advance:  you can request a non-refundable credit, valid for 12 months from the date of the original payment, which can be applied to a different iwtA online course or webinar. Credits are transferable within your company – simply contact the Registrar at info@iwtacademy.com with your request giving the name and email address of the co-worker taking your place.
  • If an instructor is not available due to unforeseen circumstances, another instructor of equal ability (decided at the sole discretion of iwtA) will be substituted whenever possible; if a suitable instructor is unavailable, the course will be cancelled and rescheduled. iwtA reserves the right to cancel courses, change instructors, or change course content. If iwtA has to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be issued to the registrant.
  • No training booking will be final and confirmed until the full amount is paid either by credit card or bank transfer.

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to all participants that attend a given online course or webinar in its entirety.

The Industrial Water Treatment Academy (iwtA) is currently in the initial stages of seeking an ANSI-accredited international standard certification in Continuing Education that will enable iwtA to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to its course participants. We expect this milestone to be reached by 2023.

You must make the payment through the intermediary (Paypal or Stripe) in USD or other foreign currency subject to exchange rates and/or service commissions.

Deverá efectuar o pagamento ao intermediário (Paypal ou Stripe) em USD ou outra moeda estrangeira sujeita às taxas de câmbio e/ou comissões pelo serviço.
