Requirement of Water Quality
A.) Why Requirement of Water Quality:-
- THE CONTENTS OF DISSOLVED AND UNDISSOLVED SOLIDS AND OTHER MATERIAL SHOULD BE PRACTICALLY ZERO.
- IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ABOVE CONDITIONS CONTINUOUS PURIFICATION OF THE RETURN CONDENSATE BY MEANS OF CPU IS MANDETORY
- IT EMPLOY THE USE OF ALL VOLATILE TREATMENT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE LOW TDS IN WATER.
- O.T. IS RECENT METHOD EMPLOYED FOR THE TREATMENT OF WATER/STEAM CYCLE.
1.) MAKE UP WATER QUALITY
2.CONDENSATE PUMP DISCHARGE
3.) C.P.U OUTLET
4.) FEED WATER
B.) Why Monitoring of Water Quality:-
MONITORING OF PARAMETERS ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE:
pH :
– CORROSION IS FUNCTION OF pH AND OXYGEN
– ALKALINE CONDITION INCREASES STABILITY OF MAGNETITE IN ALL VOLATILE TREATMENT
– IN O.T. STABILITY OF g FeOOH IS IN RANGE OF pH 7-8.5
(b) SODIUM/CHLORIDE/SULPHATE:
– ARE THE MAJOR CORRODANT FOR TURBINE AND PRESSURE PARTS.
(c) DISSOLVEDOXYGEN:
– TO ENSURE THE FUNCTIONING OF DEAREATOR
– TO CONTROL THE AMOUNT OFHYDRAZINE IN FEED WATER.
(d) IRON:
– THE CORROSION PRODUCT IN WATER/STEAM CYCLE
– INDICATES THE CORROSIVE CONDITIONS
(e) SP.CONDUCTIVITY/CATION CONDUCTIVITY:
– MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETER INDICATE THE LEVEL OF TREATMENT CHEMICAL AND INDICATION OF IMPURITIES.
