Issue November/December 2025/6
Our latest Issue
This issue of PPCHEM® provides practical guidelines for evaluating alternative makeup water sources, focusing on water chemistry risks and total costs. It also presents a detailed operational study that links excessive phosphonate dosing to the formation of oxalate and phosphate in the low-pressure steam of a combined cycle power plant. Additionally, it offers an overview of the chemical mechanisms and control strategies for the formation of calcium carbonate deposits in heat exchangers.
The issue also summarises the key discussions and findings of the 61st vgbe Conference Chemistry 2025.
Finally, this edition of the journal pays tribute to our late International Advisory Board Member, Professor Digby D. Macdonald, and his enduring scientific achievements.
