- 20. Recommendations to Reduce Deposition Deposition in turbines is mainly due to carry-over of impurities from the boiler. The amount of carry-over can be reduced by lowering the feedwater purity limits, improved boiler level control, operation at lower pressures, and elimination of organic feedwater treatment chemicals which could cause foaming.
- 21. Exfoliation Exfoliation of deposits from superheater and reheater tubing can cause significant damage to turbine blade surfaces and contributes to iron and copper transport to the turbine.
- 22. Optimization of cycle chemistry Optimization of cycle chemistry is the easiest method for reducing impurity transport and deposition. The optimal cycle chemistry will result in reduced corrosion and minimized impurity transport. This is especially important if copper alloys are present in the system because the optimal pH for copper alloys and ferrous materials are not the same and the incorrect pH can result in high levels of iron or copper transport.

- 24. Boiler Water treatment The primary purposes of boiler water treatment are to ensure that (i) the steam has minimum impurities to protect the turbine (ii) that the treatment can neutralize any contaminant ingress to prevent concentration and resultant boiler tube failures. There are current five choices for boiler water treatment for drum cycles: • Equilibrium phosphate treatment (EPT) • Phosphate treatment (PT) • All-volatile treatment (AVT) • Caustic treatment (CT) • Oxygenated treatment (OT)
