Instructor

Christophe Vanschepdael

Christophe Vanschepdael is expert in water treatment. He is technical advisor, active worldwide, supporting power plants and industrial operators with troubleshooting or consulting about boiler water treatment and cooling water treatment. For several years, he has also passed on his technical expertise via courses in the field of water chemistry in the industry.

Frameworks

Goals

The course is a general introduction to cooling circuits in the industry, not only in power plants but also in other industrial sectors. Attendees get an overview about the typical designs, main components and the three main issues that may arise in cooling circuits : biofouling, scaling & corrosion.

Program

The training course includes the following topics:

TYPICAL DESIGNS & MAIN COMPONENTS

  • typical designs: once-through, semi-open, with or without cooling tower
  • water intake
  • condenser (material, cleaning technologies, …)
  • cooling tower (if present)

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

  • importance of site specific discharge limits such as temperature and types of chemicals

SCALING

  • how to avoid scaling, how to use scale inhibitors
  • main parameters to monitor the risk of scaling

BIOFOULING AND PATHOGENS

  • how to avoid biofouling in the cooling circuit (coating, biocide, …)
  • main parameters to be followed for a good disinfection (ORP, chemicals concentration, biology)

CORROSION

  • potential corrosion issues in cooling circuits
  • how to avoid corrosion in cooling circuits (inhibitors, corrosion probes, …)

CONSERVATION

  • how to preserve cooling circuits during shutdown (cooling tower, condenser, intake, …)

FINAL: exercises & quiz

Target Audience

The course addresses a wide audience, including operators, power plant chemists, plant operation or maintenance engineers, consultants and technical project managers.

Practical Info

Please note that the course will only take place if the minimum number of participants is acquired.
