TITLE OF THE PROJECT:- Reduce Scale & Corrosion effect in Power plant Dept.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:Scale & Corrosion is related with the Performance as well as life of the Boiler plant .It is damage the tube by the overheating process, it also damage the impeller of the pump, also reduce the condenser performance by generating the layer of the decomposition, block the chimney & damage many other parts .sometimes it is also cause for the breakdown of the Plant. So we must be solve this problem so our plant life is increase & waste of the energy is also decrease .we cannot eliminating this effect but we can reduce it up to certain amount.

DETAIL DESCREPTION OF PROBLEM:

We all knows that boiler is device which convert the thermal energy into the mechanical energy by the use of turbine and generator. Boiler works at high pressure as well as temperature. So , controlling of the boiler become necessary for reduce the accident and increase the efficiency. During the industrial visit we found that there are the number of problem like scale , corrosion , lubrication of turbines , maintaining of pressure , insulation . But the major problem which effect the boiler performance & as well as create break down are scale & corrosion. These two factor mostly effected and we should be reduce these as an engineer at the age of energy crisis.

Scale: It is the phenomenon of rust formation & deposition of fluid impurities is called scaling.

In this process the inner tube surface soot , dirt and scale etc. So , the diameter of the tube will be reduces which create chocking effect inside the tube & it create barrier for flow of water. Due the scaling effect thickness of the pipe will be increase , it create thermal resistance. Due to the increase in thermal resistance heat transfer to the water inside the tube is decrease & overall performance of boiler decreases. Some time scaling creates over heating of the tube effect which damage the tube & it will burnt out. Scaling effect may be reduces by proper designing the tube & using demineralized water & maintaining PH value of water.

Scaling effect is not only in pipes but also in vacuum pump , condenser , heat exchanger , chimney.

In case of the pump it damage the pump impeller. Corrosion: Corrosion is the eating away process of boiler metal.

It is reason for the failure of the equipments & reduce the life of the equipments. The effect of the corrosion is major repair or expensive shutdown or replacement. The corrosion of the boilers , economizers , feed water heater and piping is caused by an acid or low PH. Presence of dissolved oxygen & carbon dioxide in the boiler feed water also reason for the corrosion. The primary solution for the corrosion is metal surface can be prevented by applying protective coating of amines to the surface of the boiler & economizer.

Expected Outcome: The primary solution for that is a use proper material tube. By maintaining the PH value of the water using D.M Plant. By Proper design of the equipment & pipes. For the reduce Corrosion, Coating of the tube is another solution. We are thinking for find out effective method for maintaining PH value.
