Bøger af Brad Buecker

An excellent primer for power plant professionals who have to wear many hats and need a practical explanation of the design and basic operation of conventional steam generating boilers and HRSGs without having to wade through technical material. Buecker uses anecdotes and humour to liven up what would otherwise be considered a dry subject.

In this work, the author explains: general chemistry; chemistry of natural water supplies; how contaminants enter steam-generating systems; the effects of contaminants within steam-generating units; and control guides and monitoring techniques.

Plant efficiency and profitability depend on avoiding such problems as pH extremes, oxygen scavenging, corrosion, scale, and contamination. This practical handbook provides detailed discussion and examples of solutions to water chemistry problems in power plant boilers. Formulas and calculations are provided for each area of concern.
