Course Description:

 

Steam turbines are critical components in a modern power plant. One of the most important factors affecting the availability and reliability of steam turbines is steam contamination. Steam purity is a critical aspect of ensuring that steam turbines perform efficiently without deposition and without potentially catastrophic corrosion fatigue and/or stress corrosion cracking. For example, in high pressure power cycles, copper is very steam soluble and can form heavy deposits on high pressure turbine blades. The presence of chlorides or sulphates can lead to deposits on low pressure turbine blades that result in a breakdown of metal passivity and lead to pitting, cracking and ultimately component failures. Poor steam purity has been a leading cause of forced and extended outages and higher maintenance costs. Good design and consistent operational best practices underpinned by plant management’s ongoing commitment are critical to success. This comprehensive online course will cover both the fundamentals as well as best practices in steam sampling, steam purity monitoring and troubleshooting and many other important aspects related to steam purity.
