Webinar: Verified Water Chemistry Technology

Power Generation and Cogeneration plants of all types are facing a difficult list of problems, from:

Aging plants and equipment
Load shifting and cycling
Increasing demand for data analytics and predictive maintenance solutions
Unreliable water/steam sample delivery and analytics

In this webinar, the presenter briefly reviews these challenges and provides a step-by-step plan that can be followed to establish a higher level of trust in your plant's water/steam analytics through the use of verified water chemistry technology. This solution eliminates false alarms, allowing for the correct situational analysis of water chemistry failures, all without major cost or modification to existing PLC/DCS systems.

Who Should Watch:
Plant Chemists
Operations Staff
I&C Staff
Plant Maintenance Staff
Anyone with an interest in power plant water chemistry
