REQUIREMENT OF COOLING WATER CHEMISTRY
For Condenser Tube Material specification SA249Tp304

The following cooling water chemistry needs to be mainatined for Condenser operation

Sl. No. Constituent Unit Analysis

1 PH 8.6

2 Conductivity Mhos/cm2 520

3 Suspended matters ppm 20

4 Dissolved solids ppm 370

5 Total hardness ppm as Caco3 152

6 Calcium hardness ppm as Caco3 104

7 Magnesium hardness ppm as Caco3 48

8 P - Alkalinity ppm as Caco3 16

9 M - Alkalinity ppm as Caco3 172

10 Chloride ppm as Caco3 50

11 Dissolved Silica ppm as Caco3 10

We strongly recommend the above cooling water chemistry. Any deviation shall be detrimental to the
tubes and condenser life.

The above cooling water chemistry is characterised by low salinity, high PH value and fairly low sus-
pended solids. The Tp304 tube material is very sensitive to crevice/pitting corrosion initiated by chlorides
and/or microbiological activity in general. The mentioned chlorides are to avoid crevice corrosion and the
elevated pH provide a certain buffer.

Following points have to be considered to keep the corrosion risk as low as possible:
Any MIC (microbiological introduced corrosion) should be avoided by appropriate cooling water
treatment.
The material is sensitive to oxidising agent e.g. chlorine, if used as biocide. A non-oxidising agent
should be selected instead.
Any fouling (by biological growth or inorganic precipitates) have to be excluded by adequate treat-
ment.
No chemical treatment with agents containing chlorides should be allowed. (e.d calcium carbonate,
pH control by hydrochoric acid)
A preservation concept is needed to avoid standstill corrosion

Cathodic Protection

Zinc anodes are provided in the Condenser waterbox. Due to high ph Value, the anode may passivate
and they have to be deactivated once in a while. A check of the waterbox potential by periodic measure-
ment should be done.
