Abstract
Hydrogen analysis has been a useful monitoring technique for the identification and, in many cases, the quantification of in service boiler corrosion. It can be a useful tool for detecting waterside corrosion processes before damage to failure occurs in boiler system components. Since availability and reliability of boiler plants are key components for increasing operational life expectancy, periodic hydrogen analysis can be a useful tool for evaluating the water chemistry and the potential impact of the chemical treatment program. This technique when coupled with oxygen and sodium studies provides evaluation tools for feedwater, boiler and steam cycle determinations.
