Silica present as an impurity in waters used for the production of steam have resulted in both water side deposition in steam generators and steam/condensate
Author: Edward S. BeardwoodControl of carbon dioxide and oxygen-induced corrosion can be achieved chemically at a cost while under steady state operating conditions. The majority of chronic corrosion
Author: Edward S. BeardwoodThe hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries operate a large number of low and mediumpressure industrial and waste heat recovery steam generators. They are typically in

Author: Edward S. BeardwoodMethyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO, a reducing amine, MW of 87) has been used in industrial andutility stream generating systems for over a quarter of a
Author: Edward S. BeardwoodBiofouling has always been a concern in industrial water and process systems. Increased pumping rates, reduced heat transfer and heat rejection rates, higher energy consumption,
Author: Edward S. Beardwood and Jerry K. TherrienHRSG manufacturers typically recommend against chemically cleaning new units prior to operation. Experience from a reliability and water chemistry standpoint has shown that this may
Author: Douglass B. Dewitt-Dick and Edward S. BeardwoodWhen dealing with open evaporative cooling water systems, there are two performance parameters of primary concern: corrosion and fouling. On-line monitoring of either would appear
Author: Edward S. Beardwood and Mark PantazesOver the years, the development of cooling water treatment additives has been done on standard water. These standard waters are typically standard to the developer,
