Service water system corrosion and deposition sourcebook. Final report

The Service Water System Corrosion and Deposition Sourcebook is both a comprehensive reference document, and a practical design and operating guide for preventing and controlling corrosion and deposition in power plant service water systems (SWS). As a reference document, the sourcebook provides detailed information on the types of SWS corrosion and deposition, the key characteristics useful in identifying such problems, and example case histories. As a design and operating guide, the sourcebook presents practical considerations for selecting SWS piping and equipment, important elements of a thorough SWS inspection, advantages and disadvantages of various corrosion and deposition mitigation alternatives, and options for selecting and establishing an effective monitoring program. The sourcebook contains numerous summary tables and charts to complement the detailed discussions in the text, as well as more than 100 photographs (most of which are in color).
