Optimizing Water Cycle Chemistry and Preventing Corrosion in Nuclear & Conventional Power Plants

Corrosion greatly impacts the reliability and availability as well as operation and maintenance costs of power plants -- making it a necessity to monitor and control corrosion causing ions and corrosion product transport using reliable analytical techniques. Degassed cation conductivity may not be adequate to ensure compliance with anion steam guidelines and in many cases the turbine warranty requirements.

Stephen Shulder, EPRI’s Senior Technical Leader in Boiler and Turbine Steam and Cycle Chemistry, explains the importance of optimizing water cycle chemistry. You will also learn about industry-leading sample preparation capabilities for complete corrosive species analysis and corrosion inhibitor monitoring.
