A probe developed by EPRI has demonstrated the use of light scattering to measure liquid mass fraction in the condensing steam flow of low-pressure turbine sections. Wetness fraction is a critical ...

When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...

Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...

One of the 27 MW steam turbine driven generator sets delivered to Fred. Olsen Production. Fred. Olsen Production ASA has chosen UK engineering company Peter Brotherhood Ltd to supply two condensing ...

Despite being located on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu, the Kalaeloa Cogeneration Plant had trouble in paradise: Large amounts of ash from #6 low-sulfur fuel oil coated the finned tubes of its ...

A MODERN steam power plant can be divided into three main sections: the boilers and their accessories, the turbines, and the condensing plant. Most text-books on steam machinery deal partially with ...

The final condenser at the United Arab Emirates' Barakah nuclear power plant has been installed, the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) announced today. The condenser cools the steam produced ...

If coal and natural gas power generation were 2% more efficient, then, every year, there could be 460 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide released and 2 trillion fewer gallons of water used. A recent ...
