In power plants, water is the lifeblood of the electrical generating process. The characteristics of water/steam throughout the entire process have a major impact on overall performance. Two critical focus areas are controlling the performance impact of silica deposits on critical assets, and were used, ensuring the proper dosage level of phosphate to prevent corrosion in drum-type boilers. Though control of silica and phosphate require different strategies, with reliable, actionable insights from on-line monitoring, plant personnel gain confidence to take the necessary actions to extend critical asset lifetime, while avoiding expensive maintenance and unplanned shutdowns.
