A century-plus of steam-generated power production has shown the importance of water and steam chemistry. Just one boiler tube failure in a conventional unit or heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) ...

The fundamental design principles and process for modern steam desuperheating, or the attemperation of superheated steam in the power generation industry, have been evolving since the early 1930s.

Food and beverage applications must meet a variety of process temperature and pressure control requirements to maintain the tight temperatures that ensure product quality and safety. Selecting the ...

Combined-cycle power plants operate by integrating a combustion turbine generator (CTG) and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with a steam turbine generator (STG). However, during some modes of ...

Last month, I wrote about refrigeration design engineering being a lost skill. This month, I’m going to discuss another lost engineering skill: steam systems. When I started out at an HVAC consulting ...

Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...
