HRSG water/steam sampling: Do it right or face potential consequences
Many large industrial facilities—including refineries, and chemical and petrochemical plants—are increasingly turning to co-generation for process steam and power production.
Advanced methods for controlling boiler tube corrosion and fouling—Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, the authors covered techniques for minimizing corrosion and contaminant ingress from condensate return and feedwater to industrial steam generators.
Advanced methods for controlling boiler tube corrosion and fouling—Part 1
Many heavy industrial plants, such as refineries and petrochemical facilities, require steam for numerous processes, including powering turbines, providing energy for a variety of unit operations and even heating buildings in some locations.
