Current Status and New Technologies of Water Treatment in Thermal Power Plants (Non-Toxic Oxygen Scavenger, Japan Industrial Standard Revision, Water Quality Diagnosis)
Plant water treatment for thermal power plants is conducted to prevent problems such as corrosion and scale formation/deposition in the boiler and turbine systems, as well as carryover to the turbine. The required water quality for boilers and turbines is stipulated by the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) B8223 and this standard is regularly amended based on new knowledge. Mitsubishi Power, Ltd. (Mitsubishi Power) has been participating in this amendment. Mitsubishi Power has also developed the "TOMONI Water Quality Diagnosis" system as an initiative contributing to the early detection of serious problems signs and the improvement of plant efficiency and is expanding its application to actual equipment.
