Information This document is related only to HRSG side guideline. For more detailed information and procedure, please refer to ST and Common side OMM documents. HRSG WATER QUALITY
Combined cycle feed water shall be treated with hydrazine & ammonia while boiler water with sodium phosphate as per Mitsubishi recommended criteria mentioned in Table-1. More preservation criteria mentioned in Table-2.

The criteria are base from the following items.

a.

Boiler Drum pressure for silica limitation of boiler water. Maximum allowable limit of silica in the boiler water varies in accordance with the Steam drum pressure. Specially, at higher drum pressure silica limitation must strictly observe. Because silica carry over ratio to the steam at higher steam drum pressure is high. (Refer to Fig.-1 Operating limit of Silica in Steam Drum.)

b. pH limitation for condenser cooling tube materials. When copper alloy material is applied, pH should be lower to the range of 8.8 ~ 9.2 in order to prevent copper corrosion by ammonia attack. In the case of copper free material, pH can be set higher around 9.3 ~ 9.6 in order to minimize the corrosion rate of carbon steel which is the main material cycle. Particularly, feed water pH can be control at higher range such as 9.3 ~ 9.6, because titanium material is use for the condenser cooling tubes in this plant, and these material are tolerable for higher pH.

c.

Boiler water treatment Low pH coordinated treatment is recommended for the boiler water by the following reasons. c.1. Scale growth rate inside the evaporator tubes may be reduced, and this will prolong the boiler acid cleaning interval. In addition, this treatment will not produce a thicker, low density and porous scale that may develop over heat to the evaporator tubes. c.2. Caustic corrosion caused by free caustic soda can be prevented, because disodium phosphate will make a reverse hydrolysis reaction with trisodium phosphate.

Operating Limit of Silica in Steam Drum

[Explanation] When the boiler drum operating pressure is 130kg/cm2g, maximum limit of silica in the steam drum water is approx. 0.8mg/l from the above curve based on the pH in boiler water of 9.3, because maximum limit is also depending upon its pH. [Continuous blow valve Operation] The steam drum continuous blow valve opening determined by the water quality and the operator shall coordinate with the chemist for the related analysis results and the recommended valve opening positions. Normally small amount of the drum water is always blows down to keep a good water quality. Initial opening of the continuous blow valve recommended position around 10%. Refer to Fig-2 Steam Drum Continuous Blow Valve Performance Curve.

PHOSHATE(PO4) INJECTION PROCEDURE

On-line conductivity meter for the steam drum water sample shall be in service prior to the start of phosphate injection. Phosphate is injected to HP, IP, & LP steam drum in order thru the separate pump based on each on-line conductivity meter readings. For example, if the IP Drum conductivity is still above the start condition, phosphate pump will be started to inject phosphate solution into the IP Drum first, then next into the LP Drum for each duration set in AUTO mode.
