The Australasian HRSG Users Group (AHUG) will conduct its fourth annual meeting in Australia on 3-5 December.

AHUG 2013 will consist of a number of focused presentations, lots of interactive discussions and two half-day workshops. All attendees will be requested to raise specific technical problems with their HRSGs, and then participate while other attendees join in to share their experiences and debate solutions.

There will also be a number of exhibits associated with all aspects of HRSGs.

WORKSHOP AGENDA

7:15 am Registration and Arrival tea & coffee

Workshop 1: Managing deposits in HRSG HP evaporators

This workshop will first provide an overview of the HRSG Tube Failure (HTF) mechanisms which are influenced by deposits in the HP Evaporators. The need to remove samples will be discussed along with the optimum locations in HGP and VGP HRSGs. The analysis processes developed to characterize the internal deposits and oxides will provide an indication of the morphologies which are very dependent on the chemistries used in the HRSGs. A deposition map will be presented which represents the results of analyses of over 60 HRSG plants worldwide. The second part of the workshop will provide the general principles for chemical cleaning of deposits and indigenous oxides in heat exchangers tubing. Decision making on the solvents and inhibitors will be discussed as well as the HRSG chemical cleaning processes, examples and case studies. The final part of the workshop will confirm the optimum HRSG chemistry to avoid deposits.

8:00 - 12.00pm Barry Dooley, Structural Integrity,Colin Gwynne, Aurecon and Des McEvoy, Ecolab

Thursday 5th December: Workshop Agenda

Workshop 2: Inspecting HRSGs

This workshop will provide details on inspecting HRSGs and will provide the key features of an effective HRSG inspection and assessment program. Initial discussion will focus on collecting operating data and how to analyze this for developing a proactive assessment plan. Details will provide the highlights of running an HRSG walk down which includes inspection of the gas-touched components and the water/steam side components such as the steam drums and deaerators. Discussion will then move to selecting elevated-risk components for NDE and sample removal and analysis.
