Course Description:

 

Many industries use low and intermediate pressure boilers (~ 0 – 600 psi/42 Kg/cm2) to produce enormous quantities of steam for various applications, including space heating, chemical reactors, evaporators, and many others. For practical purposes, boilers in the above category can be of two main types – water tube or fire tube. The correct chemistry for boiler treatment is greatly dependent on the quality of the feedwater going to the boiler. Chemical treatment programs for these boilers are generally considered to be less sophisticated than those for high-pressure boilers, requiring also less rigorous boiler feedwater preparation systems. Regardless of the type and extent of external treatment, boiler feedwater will often contain impurities that may cause deposition, corrosion and steam carryover. Deposits directly reduce heat transfer, lower fuel efficiency, high metal temperatures and eventually failures. Corrosion results in steam plant metallurgical failures. Both deposition and corrosion are often intimately connected. Carryover leads to deposits in superheaters, turbines and condensate systems, and possible further corrosion.  

 

This course prepares the participant with a sound foundation to the overall treatment needs of low-medium pressure boilers. There are segments dealing with the operating practices that have been successful over the years in operating this type of boilers, how the different chemical treatment programs do their job, how to recover from different feedwater contaminations, and many other topics.  It discusses the various (old & new) external treatment technologies for boiler feedwater within the context in which they influence the choice of boiler chemical water treatment programs, whose primary function is to keep heat transfer surfaces free from scale and corrosion. It covers today’s main types of chemical treatment programs, from oxygen control to scale and corrosion management, including condensate return systems as well as monitoring and layup needs. The emphasis of the course is strongly on the use of best practices.
