559-05 - Corrosion Control in Steam Production
Learning objectives
- Identify types of water treatment programs and discuss their goals
- Describe the cause and effect of corrosion in the following: pre-boiler or feedwater system, boiler system, and condensate system
- Explain the steps facilities take to control or eliminate corrosion in the water and steam path
- Explain how corrosion can be minimized by identifying condenser tube leaks through chemical analysis of steam plant water
- Describe how boiler chemistry control can reduce the adverse effects of condenser tube leaks
Course overview
Corrosion occurs on an ongoing basis throughout a steam production facility. Due to their temperature, pressure, and environmental differences, specific systems in steam production experience different types of corrosion. The main purpose of a water treatment program is to minimize corrosion and add to the long-term availability of the facility.
The Corrosion Control in Steam Production training course describes how corrosion affects various systems within a steam production facility. It explains how to detect common failures caused by excessive corrosion. It also identifies causes and discusses means employed to control corrosion. This online course includes:
- Introduction to chemical treatment programs
- Commonly used treatment programs
- Pre-boiler or feedwater system-specific corrosion
- Boiler system-specific corrosion
- Condensate system-specific corrosion
Corrosion Control in Steam Production is part of the Water Treatment training series.
