Steam Generator Performance

Abstract:
World wide the majority of unscheduled plant shut-downs induced by steam generator failures are
caused by corrosion problems. Such steam generator degradation problems arise from the continuous
ingress of non-volatile contaminants, i.e. corrosion products and salt impurities accumulated in the
steam generators. These impurities have their origin in the secondary side systems. The corrosion
products generally accumulate in the steam generators and form deposits not only in the flow restricted
areas, such as on top of tube sheet and tube support plates, but also build scales on the steam generator
heating tubes. The concentration of salt impurities within these deposits at top of tube sheet and in the
tube to tube-support-plate crevices can induce a variety of corrosion mechanisms on steam generator
tubes. In addition, the tube scales in general affects the steam generator thermal performance, which
ultimately cause a reduction of power output. The most effective ways of counteracting all these
degradation problems, and thus of improving the steam generator performance is to keep them in clean
conditions.
This paper presents the water chemistry issues to improve the steam generator corrosion and thermal
performance. In particular the subjects of operating water chemistry, cleanliness criteria for steam
generators and steam generator cleaning results with this respect will be discussed.
Introduction:
Steam generators (SG) of Pressurized Water
Reactors (PWR) are key components. Their
reliability affects greatly the overall plant
performance and availability. World-wide
experience shows that significant number of
operating PWR’s have now corrosion or
mechanical degradation problems in their SG’s
[1]. These SG problems often force unscheduled
or extended outages for preventive and corrective
maintenance, which are costly in terms of repair
work, loss of power and personnel radiationexposure.
In addition to SG corrosion problems, which
are experienced mainly on the secondary side,
deterioration of SG thermal performance is also
experienced in most of the plants, which is
caused by growing SG tube scales affecting the
primary to secondary side heat transfer. Based on
field experience, corrosion product fouling in
SGs has been identified as a major cause of heat
transfer degradation in PWR plants, with the
power output at some plants being decreased to
as low as 80% of full power. The origin of these
tube scales is again the corrosion products
generated in the secondary side of the plant and
transported into SGs.
All these secondary side SG problems can be
minimized or even be prevented by adopting
suitable design and secondary side water
chemistry operation concepts. The main
prerequisite is the careful adaptation of the water
chemistry to the existing the SG design and the
structural materials used. In the following
chapters the water chemistry measures on thesecondary side of the PWR plants to achieve this
goal will be described and the experienced
results at field with respect to improvement of
the SG performance will be presented and
discussed.
Secondary side SG tube corrosion:
Secondary side SG tube corrosion is caused in
all cases due to the presence of corrosion
product deposits adherent on the SG tubes and
of the concentrated impurities within these

532
deposits. Non-volatile impurities, which are
always present in trace quantities in the
feedwater, enter into the SGs with the feedwater
and concentrate within the deposits on the tubesheet, in the tube support crevices and on the
tube surfaces. The concentration mechanism is
illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Impurity concentration mechanism
The outer surface and upper part of these
deposits are wetted by SG water containing trace
amount of impurities. Accordingly impurities
penetrate in those areas. The lower part of the
deposits is usually dry due to heating by primary
side. Between wet and dry zones exists an
alternate wetting and drying zone, where the
water starts to evaporate and release this area as
steam. In those alternate wetting and drying
areas salt concentrations can reach corrosive
levels and compositions. Depending on the
prevailing beneath deposit local environmental
conditions, i.e. pH and redox potential, various
corrosion mechanisms, like Secondary side
Stress Corrosion Cracking (OD-SCC), Inter
Granular Attack (IGA), denting, pitting andwastage can occur (see Figure 2).
Water chemistry measures:
These corrosion problems can be counteracted
by keeping the SGs impurity clean (especially
the crevice areas at top of tube sheet and in tube
supports). For these purpose world wide effort
was done to implement improved water
treatment systems to achieve so far technical
possible impurity free condensate, feed and
make-up water in the plants. The impurity
control was applied by stringent water chemistry
specifications. In addition, world wide different
water chemistry modifications or changes were
performed: For example, In USA and Japan,water chemistry modifications like molar ration
control and boric acid treatment
Figure 2: SG tube corrosion as a function of
pH and redox potential [2,3]
were developed and implemented in the field tomitigate the SG tubing corrosion [3]. The aim of
these SG chemistry modifications is to control
the crevice chemistry at a neutral pH range for a
satisfactory environmental conditions with
respect to tube corrosion (see Figure 2).
Unfortunately, even based on some promising
laboratory data these modifications were claimed
to be helpful, they were not sufficient to stop or
to remarkably mitigate the SG tube corrosion
and still numerous SG tubes had to be repaired
(plugging and/or sleeving). For example, loss of
capacity factor attributed to SG corrosion
problems in US PWRs was with decreasingtendency in the range of 2-8 % for the years
1980 through 2000 causing billion of dollars
cost for the nuclear utility industry [4].
In contrast to USA and Japanese approach
another water chemistry strategy was selected in
Germany, which aims to prevent or suppress the
impurity concentration mechanism beneath SG
deposits by minimizing the corrosion product
deposition in the SGs. Those corrosion products
have their origin in the secondary side of the

plant, where they are produced mainly in two
phase flow steam systems by erosion corrosion of
the carbon steels. To counteract the erosion
corrosion “High AVT” chemistry (All VolatileTreatment with high pH values ) for the entire
secondary side including the SGs was developed
and implemented at the beginning of the 1980s in
the plants. This water chemistry considers the
injection of only hydrazine to maintain the
reducing conditions in SGs, whereas the high pH
values, necessary to counteract the erosion
corrosion is adjusted by ammonia (see Figure 3),
which is produced by thermal decomposition of
hydrazine [5 - 10]. This new water chemistry was
Figure 3: Carbon steel metal release by erosion
corrosion as a function of pH values
very successful to prevent SG tube corrosion. In
all old German PWRs operating under low pH
conditions, where end of seventies with PO4
chemistry wastage corrosion was experienced intheir SGs, the water chemistry is converted to this
new chemistry after replacing copper bearing
materials in their condensers. The conversion to
high pH resulted in a drastically reduction of feed
water iron concentrations. Within a short time of
operation feed water iron concentrations in the
range of ~ 1 ppb or less was achieved (see Figure
4 and Figure 5). This lead to drastically reduction
of corrosion product transport into SGs. The new
PWRs starting their commercial operation in
early of eighties and after, applied High AVT
chemistry from beginning on. All German PWRs
now operating since last 25 years with High
AVT without any corrosion problems in their
SGs. Since implementing this high pH chemistryTube Sheet Lancing (TSL) is no more performed

every year, but in average each three years.; and
the removed amount of deposits range 3-4 kg per
SG by each TSL cleanings. There are even some
plants, didn’t see the necessity of applying TSL
after 6-7 years of operation.. Annual endoscopic
visual inspections confirm the cleanness of the
SGs.
The reduction of feed water iron concentration
improved also the SG thermal performance
significantly. During the operation period with
low feed water pH values having higher iron
transport rates, remarkable steady increase of SG
tube fouling was experienced in all plants. This
was drastically reduced to almost no fouling
growth after introducing high pH and in new
plants with high pH from beginning on, it was
insignificant (see Figure 6).

Figure 6: Influence of feed water pH on SG tube
fouling
The German field experience with high pH
operation verified the important influence of the
secondary side on SGs and confirmed that if SG
corrosion problems need to be prevented or
arrested by control of water chemistry, this needs
to be optimized for the entire secondary side, and
not just in the SGs. Today this concept of
reducing the corrosion product transport into SGs
is worldwide well accepted water chemistry
strategy to prevent SG corrosion problems. Since
mid of nineties in other countries water chemistry
modifications are ongoing by use of so called
advanced amines (Morpholine, ETA, MPA,
DMA, 5-AP) with the aim to reduce the feed
water iron concentrations [11]. Published field
experience indicating promising results [12, 13].
Steam Generator Cleaning Criteria:
Since the generation of corrosion products in
the secondary side and as a consequence of this
feed water corrosion product transport into SGs
cannot be completely eliminated, with the plant
operating time the amount of deposits in SG will
increase. This leads later to the necessity of
corrosion product removal from SG for damage
prevention. i.e. for improvement of SG corrosion
and thermal performance. With this regard many
plant operators are asking if they need the
cleaning and when they need it. To answer thesequestions, several operating chemistry parameters
can be used. The change in SG performance
usually results in a change of some SG operating
chemistry parameters, which are indicative of the
increased SG deposits:
One of the main chemistry parameters which
can be used for this purpose is the change of SG
and feed water hydrazine concentrations. The
hydrazine concentration in SG is usually higher
than in feed water due to concentration increase
by evaporation; but is limited because of
volatility and thermal decomposition (SG
temperature is higher than feed water
temperature). Since the thermal decomposition
of hydrazine is catalyzed by deposits, thedecomposition rate will increase with increasing
deposit amount. In other words, the hydrazine
concentration ratio of SG to feed water, is
expected to be decreasing with operating time of
the plant. This is exactly what is experienced in
many PWRs. In Figure 7 the behavior of
hydrazine concentration ratio is given as a
function of 12 years of operating time for one
PWRs as a typical example. The purpose of
using hydrazine is to maintain reducing
conditions in SGs. Due to the increase of thermal
decomposition of hydrazine in SG and limitation
of feed water hydrazine concentration (becauseof environmental requirements), SG hydrazine
concentration decreases with a operating time. In
general, this, can lead to a situation where SG
hydrazine concentration needed to maintain the
reducing conditions in SGs can no more
ensured; and accordingly a removal of the
deposits may be necessary. For prediction this
cleaning time the slope of SG/FW hydrazine
concentration ratio decrease can be used. This
easy evaluation using routine operating
chemistry data, can help plant operators to
establish SG cleaning strategy in advance and to
perform performance oriented SG maintenance.Further examples of the thermal decomposition
of hydrazine in SGs is given in Figure 8.
Figure 7: Typical evolution of hydrazine
concentration ratio SG/FW in a PWR
The use of hydrazine decomposition behavior
for decisions regarding SG cleaning can be
supported by evaluation of the SG hide out
behavior during plant shut downs or during out
of specification conditions, for example, due to
condenser leaks:

In the SGs the concentration of impurities are
controlled by feed water impurity concentration,
SG blow down rate, steam carryover and finally
hide-out (absorption of impurities in the SGdeposits). The contribution of steam carry over is
very small and can usually be neglected. If the
impurity concentration is controlled mainly by
SG blow down rate, i.e. impurity input is same or
similar to impurity out-put, there is no need for
concern with respect to SG corrosion problems.
Because the impurities are not remaining or
concentrating in SGs. This can well be checked
by impurity mass balance calculations during
condenser leaks as indicated in an example given
in Figure 9.
Figure 9: SG Na concentration evolution during
a condenser leak in one PWR
Hide-out is the only mechanism in SGs, whichmay lead to impurity concentration up to
corrosive levels; and therefore needs to be
monitored and evaluated carefully. Increase of
deposit levels increases the SG hide-out behavior.
When hide-out starts to be dominant for impurity
control in SGs, it results in a high corrosion risk.
This situation of SG hide-out behavior can be
monitored either by hide-out return tests during
plant shut downs (release of impurities hidden-
out during operation) or by hide-out tests
(injection of Na-24 tracer into feed water).
During these tests, the constant SG Na-24
concentration (corrected by steam carry over,
blow down and natural decay) is indicative for
an insignificant SG hide-out behavior. If Na-24concentration decreases remarkably, this is due
to significant hide-out. In Figure 10 example of
SG with significant hide-out is compared with
the one without remarkable hide-out behavior.
Figure 10: SGs with significant and negligible
hide-out behavior
The hide-out behavior of SGs changes also
with the operating time; i.e. hide-out increases
with increasing deposit loading in the SGs, as
demonstrated by hide-out test performed two
years later in the same SG without hide-out
shown in Figure 10 (compare Figure 11). The
hide-out increase rate can also be used for
decision making when the SG cleaning should
be scheduled.
Figure 11: SG hide-out increase with operating
time confirmed by hide-out tests
Finally, in addition to chemistry parameters,
several outage inspections results can also be
used as criteria for making a decision on SG
chemical cleaning:

Heavy hard deposits are the locations for
impurity concentration to corrosive levels. This
can be confirmed by visual inspections: Different
colors of deposits are direct indication for saltconcentrations (see Figure 12). If the color of the
deposit are uniform black, in such cases only
chemical analysis can help to assess their risk for
tube corrosion.
Figure 12: Colored SG deposits
Finally, increase of tube scales (fouling) may
deteriorate the primary- to secondary-side heat
transfer, resulting in a steam pressure decrease.
Monitoring of pressure decrease is the best tool
to assess the SG thermal performance.
For decision regarding establishing SG cleaningstrategy and applying performance oriented SG
maintenance, all these data evaluation, as
described above, should be used. Table 1
summarizes these SG cleanness criteria used by
Framatome-ANP in Germany for SG chemical
cleaning. Such data evaluation results and criteria
were used to make decisions for SG chemical
cleaning in German NPPs.

Steam generator chemical cleaning:
Since mid eighties, SG chemical cleanings are
performed numerous times for improvement of
SG performance with respect to corrosion or thermal efficiency [14]. As of today two
different main SG chemical cleaning
technologies are used. The one is low
temperature non proprietary EPRI SGOG
process applied at 95-120°C mainly in USA. The
another is the high temperature FANP
proprietary SGCC process, which is applied in
more than half of all chemical cleanings world
wide. This high temperature process is applied
under hot standby conditions at 160-175°C
during plant shut down or start-up operations.
Most of these applications were in preventive
nature but some were also active to arrest the SGcorrosion. The process description is published
numerous times in the literature some examples
are given in [15, 16]. In the following several
application results with respect to improvement
of SG performance are presented.
As discussed in previous chapter, deposits in SG
increase the thermal decomposition rate of
hydrazine. Accordingly with increasing deposits
in the SG, the hydrazine concentration ratio SG
to feed water decreases. This hydrazine ratio
value, as one of the SG cleanliness criteria, was
improved after all SG chemical cleanings exceptin one case (see Figure 13). In this case (KKS:
NPP Stade,), SG chemical cleaning was applied
in SGs only partially, excluding the U-bend area.

Almost in all applications main steam pressure

SG chemical cleanings (see Table 2). These
steam pressure increases have corresponded to
~ 0.5 to 1.6 % heat transfer tube surface gains.

was experienced only in Neckarwestheim Unit 1

In Neckarwestheim unit 1 cleaning case in
addition to main steam pressure increase, a
simultaneous coolant temperature decrease of

Not only the thermal but also the corrosion
performance of SGs can be improved by
chemical cleaning, as it was confirmed by field
experience several times world wide. An
example for this is given in Figure 17: Due to
sodium increase into SG by malfunction in the
condensate demineralizer system ODSCC
(secondary side stress corrosion cracking) was
experienced in one PWR in 1988, which made
necessary to plug 371 tubes [17]. SG chemical
cleaning using FANP high temperature process
could arrest ODSCC in the following operatingcycles. The number of plugged tubes was
reduced in the following outages till it was zero
in three years after the sodium incident.

recommended not to delay the cleanings once the
corrosion starts; better to perform cleaning as
preventive using plant specific SG cleanliness
criteria, before corrosion starts.
Conclusions:
Secondary side chemistry control programs and
measures are essential for good SG performance:
x Adequate chemistry program helps to reduce
feed water iron concentration significantly,
which leads to improvement of SG thermal
and corrosion performance.
x Operating chemistry data are indispensable to
evaluate SG performance and can support to
schedule SG performance oriented
maintenance activities.x Finally poor SG performance can be
improved significantly by chemical cleanings.
