A three-year-old combined-cycle power plant in the Northeast with an ammonia-only steam generator chemistry treatment program was experiencing high iron concentrations throughout the steam cycle. The ...

Over the last decade or so, there has been immense progress in the development of tools, both experimental and theoretical, for probing the solid/fluid interface at the nanoscale. These advances open ...

Even minor traces of chloride, sulfate, and sodium hydroxide can cause severe problems in steam systems, and especially turbines. In the case of sodium hydroxide, stress corrosion cracking of turbine ...

Since its birth in the early 20th century, atomic research has brought mostly positive impacts to our lives. This week is Nuclear Science Week, as an internationally observed, week-long event that ...

Refractory materials, essential for high-temperature industrial applications, rely on robust chemical compositions to withstand extreme thermal and corrosive environments. Chromium, particularly in ...

This course will cover the main causes of corrosion in upstream oil and gas operations, as well as monitoring and mitigation methods. The various corrosion mechanisms give rise to a number of ...

Maintaining reliable and efficient plant operations requires good control of corrosion and corrosion product transport in power plant water systems. The Electric Power Research Institute recommends ...
