Important Announcement, March 20, 2020
Recognizing the ongoing and increased uncertainty that coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing around the world, with great disappointment we have to inform you all, that in light of the growing concerns around COVID-19, we from PPCHEM AG have been forced to cancel this event
We are extremely sorry for this, but as you certainly can imagine we have taken this decision not easy. However, the actual situation, which is so highly dynamic and with ongoing restrictions by authorities on the one hand, but also the extreme difficulties in traveling due to flight suspensions on the other hand, did not leave any further room.
A proper forecast, when the situation will come back to somewhat “normal” worldwide (!!), is at the time being not possible at all. With this worldwide disastrous situation, a proper planning for 2020 is not possible for the next months, hence a complete cancellation for 2020 is certainly the best decision for all of us.
Nevertheless, we are absolutely convinced, that we can do this event again in 2021 and so we will do!
We highly appreciate your patience, trust and continuous support.
Once again, we deeply regret this bad news, but we also want to assure you that we are continuously working hard on the 2021 events and will make them even much better for all of us.
Summary
This seminar offers easy-to-understand insights into the aims and tasks of power plant chemistry, as well as into the necessary basics, such as water chemistry, corrosion science, etc., not only to chemical specialists, but also to the “non-chemist”.
The different possible operating regimes, the relevant guidelines (e.g. IAPWS, EPRI, VGB), and the correct and optimum selection and application in relation to the individual plant design will be demonstrated, as well as the necessary considerations for the operational monitoring concept.
Language
The seminar will be held in English.
Duration
2 days
The Trainer
Michael Rziha, PPCHEM AG, Switzerland
The initial Flyer and the Agenda can be found here.
Objective
Plant damage caused by corrosion, unplanned shutdowns, and/or impairment of efficiency and plant performance for chemical reasons are still among the major root causes of huge economic losses.
Often an inadequate selection of the individual chemical regime or inappropriate chemical monitoring in conjunction with countermeasures applied too late are reasons for these setbacks. The seminar will demonstrate by selected case studies the possible negative economic impacts as well as how an optimum plant chemistry can contribute to improving the economic situation of the individual plant.
A fundamental understanding of the interaction between the water qualities occurring in the power plant, the various materials used, and the different processes and conditions of the individual systems is of essential importance to avoid these impacts and to improve the economic benefits.
