Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course will provide a comprehensive review of the principles of boiler water conditioning. The ASME and EPRI Boiler Chemistry Guidelines will be covered. Oxygen control by means of deaeration and chemical treatment will be reviewed. Boiler design principles will be developed, including heat transfer, circulation effects, and highpressure requirements. The special requirements of HRSGs will be reviewed in depth. The chemistry and control of phosphates, chelant, and sludge conditions will be reviewed in depth. Problems and solutions associated with steam purity and condensate corrosion will be covered in detail with several practical examples. Guidelines for chemical cleaning will be developed. The discussion of the metallurgical analysis of failed boiler tubes includes a workshop. The course concludes with destructive and non-destructive options for boiler tube inspection.Ion exchange is a critical unit process in purifying water for steam generation, semiconductor manufacture, and pharmaceutical applications. The course reviews resin structure, function, and the gamut of water purification applications from softening to the preparation of ultraquality water. The course has been modified to focus on monitoring performance and reacting to system upsets (troubleshooting). Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of the chemistry of boiler water treatment for scale, corrosion, and carryover control, treatment options for the gamut of industrial boiler system pressures, the options and precautions associated with boiler chemical cleaning, and metallurgical analysis of failed boiler specimens. Further, participants will have a strong understanding of the chemistry of ion exchange resins and the operation of systems using ion exchange resins for water purification, including system and vessel design parameters. The course also provides practical options to use when troubleshooting resin-based systems.
