Course Name:
Power Plant Chemistry (CQUniversity)
Course Description:
 
Power Plant Chemistry provides students with a comprehensive overview of the role of water in a modern coal-fired power station, with particular emphasis on the chemistry of the Unit Cycle. Topics covered include: chemistry of the unit cycle fluid; chemical cleaning; unit cycle water treatment processes; cooling water chemistry (including stator cooling systems, closed cooling systems, open recirculating cooling towers and open once-through cooling systems); power plant chemical monitoring instrumentation. Students will gain the capacity to develop and evaluate operational methods, identify failure mechanisms and specify remedial treatments. 
  • Apply the theories of gases and solids in the aqueous phase
  • Evaluate major Unit Cycle water treatment processes;
  • Make decisions about the need for chemical cleaning and be able to rationalise why a particular chemical cleaning protocol needs to be employed;
  • Identify and describe the mechanism of failure on the steam-side and water-side of a condenser; and
  • Explain the range of chemical instrumentation and theory of operation used in a modern power station.
Cost: $3400
