  • Patent number: 9758880
    Abstract: A method for controlling water chemistry in a power generation plant including a low-pressure feedwater heater (18), a deaerator (19), and a high-pressure feedwater heater (20) disposed sequentially along a feedwater pipe (16) from a condenser (15) to a steam generator or a boiler (11) to control the chemistry of feedwater guided to the steam generator or the boiler includes the steps of: injecting an oxidant through an oxidant injection line (31) into feedwater flowing through the feedwater pipe disposed downstream of the condenser in such a way that a dissolved oxygen concentration in the feedwater ranges from 3 to 100 ppb while the feedwater is maintained to be neutral to form an oxide film on surfaces of the feedwater pipe, the low-pressure feedwater heater, the deaerator, the high-pressure feedwater heater, and other structural members that come into contact with the feedwater; and injecting a deoxidant through a deoxidant injection line (35) into the feedwater flowing through the feedwater pipe disposed

  • Patent number: 9221978
    Abstract: A corrosion-resistant member has a composite titanium oxide film for reducing corrosion deposited on a surface of a construction material, where the composite titanium oxide film is represented by a molecular formula MTiO3 in which M is a transition element, and the corrosion-resistant member is preliminarily manufactured by depositing titanium oxide on the surface of the construction material, and the titanium oxide is subsequently or simultaneously subjected to high temperature treatment under existence of an ion of the transition metal.

  • Patent number: 9165689
    Abstract: The present invention provides an operation method of a plant which has a low-pressure feed water heater, a deaerator and a high-pressure feed water heater sequentially arranged in a feed water pipe reaching a steam generator from a condenser, and leads high-temperature feed water to the steam generator, wherein an oxidant is injected onto a surface of a structural material from an oxidant injection line in order to form a film that suppresses an elution of an element constituting the structural material such as the feed water pipe, the low-pressure feed water heater, the deaerator and the high-pressure feed water heater, which come in contact with the high-temperature feed water, and a corrosion suppression substance is further introduced from a corrosion suppression substance introduction line in order to deposit the corrosion suppression substance on a surface of the structural material in which corrosion accelerated by a flow of the feed water occurs.

  • Patent number: 8859038
    Abstract: Provided is a method for monitoring corrosion in a power plant, including: forming a film with a composition of M1FeO3 (M1 is a trivalent or tetravalent metal) or M2Fe2O4 (M2 is a divalent metal) on the inner wall surface of an apparatus of the power plant; and maintaining the film stably by controlling the amount of introduction of oxygen into the apparatus commensurate with a temperature in the apparatus.
