Cooling Water and Service Water Systems Cooling water and service water systems are integral to the safe and reliable operation of all nuclear plants. The water chemistry of these systems is the primary factor controlling corrosion, scale, suspended solids fouling, and microbiological fouling; the mechanisms that can seriously degrade plant performance and equipment condition. As well as having a direct, negative impact on the overall plant efficiency, fouling and corrosion will also impair the integrity of plant components and lead to costly repairs or even complete replacement. Structural Integrity Associates has world-leading expertise in the evaluation, management, control, and optimization of all aspects of chemistry in nuclear plant cooling water and service water systems.

Our whole-of-chemistry audit and assessment programs comprehensively examine not only the fundamentals of system reaction chemistry, but the interactions between system stresses and water treatment methodologies. SI provides programs for the selection, implementation and optimization of treatment programs, process performance modeling, management of fouling and degradation mechanisms, corrosion mitigation, failure analysis and detailed metallurgical assessments, and more. Our multi-disciplined focus uniquely captures all the performance, efficiency, reliability, asset integrity, and life-management information that plant owners require if they are to accurately and proactively monitor the impact that system chemistry has on essential plant operations.
