CHEMICAL CONTROL 
IN COGENERATION POWER PLANTS

The Chemical Control course addresses a very  delicate issue in the operation of a cogeneration power plant: control of the physical-chemical  characteristics of the cooling water, water-steam cycle and effluents.

The importance of this control is such that a wrong treatment can have very serious damage and a loss of production so important, that its good  performance should be one of the strategic  objectives in the cogeneration power plant exploitation.  As demonstrated throughout the course, this control is simple, easy to understand and implement if you have the right skills.
