Water Chemistry Practices in Thermal Power Stations

Water Chemistry Practices in Thermal Power Stations by J. Jha. The book is therefore dedicated to thermal power industries of the world, wishing their performance at best, with very satisfactory water chemistry results. the book is more practical than theoretical, giving special attention to describing troubleshooting parts in operating different types of equipment/plants with suitable remedial measures and also with due interpretations of the operational and test data to overcome the operational problems of the water treatment plant, boiler & turbine, etc. even with some of their basic design deficiencies. The book is written with six different chapters.
