Reliable treatment of water vapour in power stations and waste-to-energy plants thanks to precise dosing technology
In power stations and waste-to-energy plants, steam is the central working medium for generating energy. However, without targeted chemical treatment, steam operation inevitably leads to corrosion, deposits and chemical imbalances - with direct consequences for efficiency, plant availability and the service life of components.
Continuous and needs-based dosing of corrosion inhibitors, oxygen binders and other additives is therefore an essential part of a safe and economical steam cycle: it protects boilers, pipes and turbines, stabilises the water-steam chemistry and ensures low-fault plant operation.
Challenges in steam and boiler operation
- Corrosion caused by oxygen and aggressive media in the steam circuit.
- Deposits impair heat transfer and efficiency.
- Unstable water-steam chemistry increases maintenance costs and the risk of failure.
- High pressures and temperatures stress materials and components.
- Untreated systems lead to efficiency losses and rising operating costs.
The solution from sera
- Targeted dosing: Precise addition of corrosion inhibitors and oxygen binders such as ammonia, hydrazine or ascorbic acid.
- Designed for high pressure: Reliable use in vapour applications up to 140 bar.
- Modular system: From individual units to complete dosing systems - to suit the system concept.
- High process reliability: Multi-layer diaphragm and integrated overload protection for safe continuous operation.
- Media-compatible design: Chemical-resistant materials and optional gas-tight design.
- Easy integration: Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, even in EX areas.
The dosing systems from sera ensure a stable water-steam chemistry, provide long-term protection for boiler and steam systems and enable safe, efficient and economical operation of power stations and waste-to-energy plants.
