Boiler and HRSG Water Chemistry and Corrosion Control
Bridges theoretical chemistry and practical power plant strategy. Focuses on the relationship between water purity and the structural integrity of boiler and HRSG assets. Built on international expertise to sharpen skills, increase productivity and asset longevity.
Boiler and HRSG Water Chemistry and Corrosion Control is a three-day, instructor-led course delivered live online on 17–19 February 2027. It covers corrosion and deposition in the steam/water cycle, treatment-program selection, chemistry monitoring and troubleshooting for engineers responsible for boiler and heat recovery steam generator reliability.
What You Will Learn
- Explain the relationship between water purity, deposits and corrosion in boilers, HRSGs, condensers and feedwater systems.
- Compare all-volatile, oxygenated, phosphate and caustic treatment approaches covered in the course.
- Interpret relationships between pH, conductivity, contaminants and cycle-chemistry trends.
- Review iron and copper sampling and use monitoring trends to investigate chemistry problems.
