Our latest Issue
The technical papers in this issue address practical challenges in power & plant chemistry and operation.
A case study investigates polymer fouling as the root cause of selective calcium leakage in a demineralization system and demonstrates how structured diagnostics and targeted resin treatment can successfully restore performance. Contributions of this kind underscore the importance of informed diagnostics and experience‑based problem solving.
Another article critically examines widespread misconceptions surrounding the use of alkalizing amines in high‑pressure water‑steam cycles. Using a practical case history, it addresses the incorrect assumption that alkalizing amines can generally replace ammonia for feedwater pH control in utility systems. The discussion highlights potential operational risks and emphasizes the need for careful selection of chemistry programs based on pressure level, system design, established best practices, and international guidance documents.
A detailed report is provided on the PPCHEM Seminar "Monitoring and Avoidance of Chemical Issues in Water‑Steam Cycles," held in Erfurt, Germany. The seminar once again highlighted the central role of sound water and steam chemistry control in the safe, efficient, and economical operation of power plants.
