This course covers a wide range of combined cycle power plant operational chemistry concerns. It was developed FOR power plant chemistry personnel BY a former power plant Chief Chemist with over 30 years of on-the-job experience. It is designed to provide an understanding of the chemistry principles related to system chemistry control, water treatment, and analytical methods.
Subjects of interest include:
Integrated Combined Cycle Plant Chemistry
Corrosion Control
Process Considerations
The Chemistry Associated with Boiler Chemical Cleaning
Selective Catalytic Reduction
In addition, guidelines for chemistry control programs such as frequency of analyses, chemistry specifications and limits, and data evaluation are presented.
Note: Students are encouraged to bring questions or plant chemistry problems to address in class
