New Amine Water Treatment at the VAZ TPP

Abstract

The technical and economical aspects of the operation of the heat-exchange equipment at the VAZ TPP with conventional hydrazine and new amine water treatment programs are discussed. The water treatment programs are compared against the corrosion rate in various sections of the water/steam circuit and deposition rate. The annual cost advantage is calculated based on data on the consumption of fuel, electricity, water, and chemicals. Using the economic and environmentally sound amine water treatment programs will ensure stable operation of the heat energy system of the plant and safe working conditions.
