NALCO Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, 2nd Editionby James J. Dillon
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A comprehensive, up-to-date guide to boiler failure from Nalco, the worlds leading water treatment and process improvement companyNalco Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, Second Edition offers complete coverage of the improved methods to identify and eliminate boiler failure that have emerged since the first edition was published. Investigations into why equipment fails in the steam processes and how to prevent the failures continue to increase. Utilizing the knowledge obtained from failure analysis in the initial engineering of the systems and processes can reduce the potential risks involved with the commissioning of new equipment. Improvements in operating practices can minimize the risk of failure when the mechanisms are understood. This in-depth guide expands the discussion around the known mechanisms of failure and in turn helps in prevention going forward. This will yield to increased asset protection and the longevity of equipment, resulting in a more favorable return on capital. Nalco Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, Second Edition
Authoritative coverage: Water and Steam Formed Deposits; Cause of Deposition; Deposit Related Problems; Short-Term Overheating; Long-Term Overheating; Waterside Corrosion; Caustic Corrosion; Low pH During Service; Hydrogen Damage; Phosphate Corrosion; Chelant and Complexing Agent Corrosion; Oxygen Corrosion; Corrosion During Cleaning; Stress Assisted Corrosion; Parting; Graphitic Corrosion; Dealloying; Waterside Flow-Related Damage; Cavitation; Flow Accelerated Corrosion; Erosion; Cracking; Corrosion Fatigue; Stress Corrosion Cracking; Oil Ash Corrosion; Coal Ash Corrosion; Waterwall Fireside Corrosion; Cold End Corrosion; Dew Point Corrosion; Erosion; Forming Defects; Welding Defects Book News Annotation:Engineers--two metallurgical and one chemical--with the water treatment company Nalco, update the 1991 guide to incorporate changes in materials, instrumentation, and other factors over the intervening generation. They cover waterside corrosion and damage, deposit-related problems, overheating, cracking, pre-boiler and post-boiler damage waterside flow-related damage, fireside corrosion and damage, and material defects. Color photographs help readers identify the type of corrosion encountered and other problems. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:Practical, up-to-date techniques for identifying and eliminating common causes of boiler failure
Filled with more than 200 color images, The Nalco Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, Second Edition categorizes distinct failure modes that typify nearly all boiler problems and walks you, step by step, through their solutions. Each type of failure is classified according to its location, general description, critical factors, identification, elimination, cautions, and related problems. Real-world case histories are included throughout. This authoritative resource contains new chapters on: Phosphate corrosion Stress-assisted corrosion Steam and condensate damage Flow-accelerated corrosion Comprehensive coverage includes: Water- and steam-formed deposits * Short- and long-term overheating * Caustic corrosion * Low-pH corrosion * Hydrogen damage * Chelant complexing * Oxygen corrosion * Corrosion during cleaning * Corrosion fatigue cracking * Stress corrosion cracking * Graphitic corrosion * Dealloying * Cavitation * Erosion * Waterwall fireside corrosion * High-temperature furnace corrosion * Cold-end corrosion * Dew point corrosion * Fireside corrosion * Welding defects About the Author Nalco Company is the worlds leading water treatment and process improvement company. Nalco's more than 10,000 employees work with more than 70,000 customers in 130 countries in industry, government, and institutions to solve and prevent problems, protect the environment, decrease costs, increase productivity, improve profitability by reducing customer total costs of operation, and maintain asset reliability. The group of scientists assembled to author the various sections of this edition work in Nalcos metallurgy group, specializing in metallographic failure analysis investigations. They have conducted thousands of detailed metallographic failure analyses on boiler system components that focus on root cause determination.
