Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...

An integral process for utility steam generating systems, including the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle power plants, is condensation of the turbine exhaust steam for return ...

The steam surface condenser is an integral component at electric utilities and other facilities that generate power. It is also the point where highly pure condensate can potentially come in contact ...

Keeping a power plant’s surface condenser in proper working order requires paying attention to balance-of-plant systems as well. Failure to monitor and maintain cooling towers and vacuum pumps in ...

A MODERN steam power plant can be divided into three main sections: the boilers and their accessories, the turbines, and the condensing plant. Most text-books on steam machinery deal partially with ...
