Effect of ODACON® F on Carbon Steel Corrosion in Water-Steam Cycle Chemistry with Ethanolamine

ABSTRACT Film-forming amine (FFA) applications are a recent strategy used by nuclear power plants for the corrosion protection of secondary-side components during outages and normal operation. Laboratory investigations of FFA applications are usually conducted in static autoclaves under conditions that are different from the field, where the conditions are dynamic with factors such as temperature […]

Improving the Reliability of Degassed Conductivity after Cation Exchange Measurement with EDI Technology

ABSTRACT During the startup of a water-steam cycle, CO2 is the primary contributor to increased conductivity after cation exchange (CACE) values. It is generally accepted that CO2 is the least aggressive contaminant in a water-steam cycle. Therefore, it is essential to reliably demonstrate that the increased CACE is due to CO2 and not to more […]
