TOC monitoring is critical to minimizing corrosion in all types of power plants.

Controlling the level of organics and carbonic acid in power waters is critical to minimizing corrosion in power plants. Under high temperature and pressure, organics are oxidized to form corrosive organic acids and carbonic acid. Particularly corrosive are the byproducts from the oxidation of organics containing halogens, sulfur, nitrogen or phosphorous. These compounds may form corrosive inorganic acids, (e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, phosphoric, etc) in addition to producing organic acids and carbonic acid.

TOC monitoring can also help pinpoint heat exchanger leaks by detecting carbon dioxide or glycol in high purity water. In addition, cogeneration facilities utilize TOC analyzers to reduce the risk of steam contamination.

TOC is Used In:

• Conventional power plants
• Nuclear power plants
• Cogeneration plants

Applications Include:

• Condensate steam loop
• Feedwater or Raw Water
• Make-up and Deionized Water
