Condenser Performance Monitoring

Digital Insights to Help Shape Plant Performance & Profitability

Maintaining condenser system health is a critical aspect of plant operation, particularly in power generating facilities looking to optimize plant availability and meet megawatt production goals.

Why Monitor Condenser Performance?

Condenser performance issues can negatively impact your heat exchange efficiency, which can affect production and shorten equipment life.

Many facilities already monitor condenser health, but most monitoring technologies will only provide a cleanliness factor without pinpointing where the issue is occurring or why.

Our Condenser Performance Monitoring technology gathers, analyzes, and reports on key issues impacting the health of your condenser. It helps your ChemTreat team troubleshoot and provide recommendations on where operational, maintenance, and treatment modifications can be made to enhance performance and optimize production.

Data-Driven Chemical Treatment Solutions

Regularly monitoring condenser performance improves our ability to identify the specific issues your system faces: both shell-side and water-side. Combining results from our Condenser Modeling Program with the cooling water data captured in our CTVista^®+ program, your ChemTreat team can begin to accurately determine if there is a water-side issue and make treatment program recommendations best-suited to address your system needs.

Our treatment programs may include:

• Cooling and boiler treatment technologies to help reduce corrosion, scale, and fouling
• Wide range of biocide technologies for fouling reduction, including chlorine dioxide generation, monochloramine-based programs, and liquid stabilized halogen
• Non-phosphorus chemistries to help you meet your environmental goals

Contact us today to request a system audit and find out how our programs can help you improve production efficiency, save fuel, and preserve equipment.

All systems are different. As with all other technologies, due diligence is necessary to determine the feasibility for utilizing methods; always consult your equipment manuals and guides. This technology is an add-on and not a standard offering with CTVista^®+ intelligent water management software.
