CNS Annual 2011 Conference Session Regarding 9th International Conference on CANDU? Maintenance Paper E - Plant Operating Chemistry - Best Learned in Reverse

摘要

"... a gut-level understanding of basic boiler-cycle chemistry parameters by those on the front-lines of operations and maintenance is fundamental to achieving reliable, high-availability plant performance" - Ref Author 1.To that end, this paper presents Plant Operating Chemistry in exactly the reverse order to the norm. By starting with steam-cycle corrosion product transport - chemistry is not only dead simple, but related directly to the experience and OpEx observations of service-providers everywhere. Such insight ultimately leads to interest in the more-aggressive boiler-cycle species, primary circuit conditions, etc. - all highly preferable to the 'clouding-over-of-faces' upon mere mention of the 'c' word.
