Presented by:Pradip Patel ESSAR POWER GUJARAT LTD - JAMNAGAR11Role of Chemistry in Power Plant
Water Chemistry is important
toAchieve higher operation efficiency Minimize corrosion and scale formation problemTo reduce plant down time.
High water quality standards are to be maintain particularly in high pressure boiler and upcoming super critical boiler.22 WATERThe purest available form is from water vapour in atmosphere , as rain, snow or produced by melting of ice.
This water on reaching the ground absorbs different types of gases from atmosphere like nitrogen, oxygen and to a lesser extent carbon dioxide.
Other gasses like ammonia, oxides of nitrogen and sulphur etc. also dissolves during rain depending upon the pollution level of the atmosphere.
Apart from this, the surface water travels to various places and catches organic matter, suspended solids etc.33 SOURCES OF WATERRivers, Lakes and reservoirs (Surface drainage water)
Underground water (shallow well, deep well, springs)
Rain water
Sea water
Snow melting44 MAIN IMPURITIES IN WATERNon dissolved & Non Ionic :Suspended (Macro size) Sand, dirt, silt. This contributes turbidity to raw water.
Colloidal Micro size particles (1 to 100 nm)
Dissolved & Ionic :Dissolved form Alkaline salts and neutral salts, organic matter,
Alkaline salts are mainly bicarbonates rarely carbonates and hydrates of calcium, magnesium and sodium.
Neutral salts are sulphates, chlorides, nitrates of calcium, magnesium and sodium.55TYPE OF WATER IN THERMAL POWER PLANTRaw Water

Why Pre treatment Plant ?
Pretreatment is required for removing Floating Solids, Suspended Solids and Colloids.
77Pretreatment:
(1) Screening(2) Storage of raw water(3) Chlorination(4) Coagulation & FlocculationFiltration

1212WBASBAMBDGTWACSACD M Plant DMSTACFDEGASSER13Dissolved solids present in water are removed in DM plant by Ion exchange process and resin are used for this Ion exchange process.Depending upon the amount of water to be treated and quality of the filter water, different types of demineralization schemes are made. DM Water Specification pH : 6.5 6.9 Cond. (S/cm) -: < 1.0 SiO2 -: < 0.02 ppm
1414Service & RegenerationSERVICE:-Ion Exchange process in Cation Resin.R-H+ + CaCl2, MgSO4, NaCl --- R-Ca, Mg, Na + HCl, H2SO4, 2HCl Ion Exchange process in Anion Resin.R-OH- +HCl, H2SO4 ----- R-Cl,SO4 + H2O
REGENERATION:-Exhausted Cation exchange resin R-Ca, R-Na, R-Mg is converted back to its original form by passing HCl R-Mg + 2 HCl---- 2 R-H + MgCl2R-Na + HCl R-H + NaClAnion exchange resin is regenerated by treating with NaOHR-Cl + NaOH ----- R-OH + NaCl
