Análise e tratamento de água de caldeiras em unidades FPSO

Abstract

The present work has the function describing the treatment and analysis of boiler water, due to the increasing use of such equipment, heat exchangers, on the steam generation aboard FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) units. It should be noted that an incorrect treatment, ultimately shorten the life of the equipment, generating pre-mature wear of materials due to severe corrosion of constituent materials, and cause countless harm to systems that operate with steam, such as turbines power generation and turbo-pumps. It is noted that in addition to a correct treatment of the water, its use, according to criteria of salinity are of equal importance, beyond the criteria of training personnel who use and maintain the equipment operating under the conditions indicated by the manufacturers.
