Steel Tanks Provide Storage Of Cleaning Solutions To Pre-Clean Heat
Recovery Steam Generators Before Klamath Cogeneration Plant Goes Online
A new cogeneration plant in Klamath Falls, Oregon was being prepared to go
online in the summer of 2001. Two Toshiba HRSB (heat recovery steam
generators) for the plant needed to be thoroughly, chemically cleaned
prior to operation.
A major North American environmental service company was engaged by the
cogeneration plant operators to ready the plant for power production. A
proprietary demineralized water wash was used in conjunction with a
chemical cleaning process to purge all piping of particulates, scale, and
residual grease.
Rain for Rent's Brownsville, Oregon team designed a system to store monosodium
citrate waste solution and demineralized water. The storage system
consisted of eight
21,000 gallon Worksafe steel bi-level tanks, four
18,000 gallon Worksafe steel open-top tanks, and two
4,900
gallon EZ Kleen poly tanks. The environmentally sensitive site was
protected from spills by fourteen Spillguards.
