Monitoring cycle water chemistry in fossil plants. Volume 3, Project conclusions and recommendations: Final report

In June 1986, EPRI published the ``Interim Consensus Guidelines on Fossil Plant Cycle Chemistry.`` Previously published Volume 1 of the final report presents information obtained during a field monitoring program, using state-of-the-art monitoring and data acquisition systems, at four utility units representing different types of design, operation, metallurgy, and chemical treatment. A separate report, Volume 2, will be published giving the results of a parallel monitoring effort conducted by nine international organizations representing 29 generating units of various types. The present Volume 3 presents the conclusions and recommendations of the water chemistry monitoring project at four fossil-fired stations. The three volumes comprising this final report for this project will furnish the basis for subsequent modification and reissue of guidelines on fossil plant cycle chemistry. (VC)
