Thermal and hydraulic simulation of the Steam Generation train

• Simulation of heat exchangers according to manufacturer’s documentation
• Operating data analysis according to DCS

Main results:

• Equipment actual response Vs. Project
• Performance analysis and power loss (heat)
• Accelerated fouling identification: low performance, DeltaP increase
• Identification of steaming and vaporization phenomena in
• Preheater: fouling, erosion.
• Identification of mechanical risks due to vibrations
• Proposed operational improvements
• Proposal and definition of DDs if required: boronscopy, thickness measurement, analysis of samples and residues (during operation, during stoppage)
