•  Proper employment of guided wave radar in steam loops

Ravi Jethra - Industry Manager, Power & Energy

Keith Riley - Level Product Business Manager

Summary: This paper will address the application of Guided Wave Radar (GWR), also known as Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), in your steam loop. Included will be discussions of how this technology functions and differs from more traditional forms of level indication.

The heart and soul of any boiler based power generation system is the steam loop or circuit. Without the proper availability of water in this system, efficiency suffers. In more extreme circumstances

damage to other components from either too much water (carryover) or too little water (low water condition) will occur and shorten a boiler's lifespan. In the most extreme situation a dry fire accident could occur resulting in severe damage and personal injury...Read the complete white paper (PDF 2,62 MB)

•  Measurement and control aspect of pH using inductively coupled bidirectional Memosens technology in flue gas desulfurization process

Summary: pH measurement and control in a power utility is an integral part of process. The scrubber efficiency is highly dependent on the pH. Numerous opportunities were revealed for saving time, as well as the cost and materials in power plants. In a fossil fuel power plant, the chemical energy stored in coal, oil, natural gas, shale oil, oxygen and air is converted into thermal, mechanical and finally into electrical energy. In other words, water is heated to steam, which spins a steam turbine. The steam turbine drives an electrical generator. Commercial power plants generally are built on a very large scale...Read the complete white paper
