    A power plant uses demineralized water in its boiler that is converted to condensate water in the condenser using seawater as a coolant. A micro puncture in a condenser tube can leak seawater into the condensate, increasing its conductivity. Positive ions from the seawater pass through the puncture and are absorbed by a cation exchanger, leaving sulfate and chloride ions that raise the cation conductivity above 10 micro S/cm to detect the puncture early. Adding a few drops of seawater before the exchanger shows a large variation in cation conductivity, demonstrating the sensitivity of the measurement system.

    Tiny things (10) make the difference !

    De-minerlised water (conductivity 0.3-0.5 micro S/cm) for Boiler is circulating one. After steam
    having worked on LP turbine is converted as condensate water in the condenser by sea water as
    coolant. Micro puncture in condenser tube leaks sea water having conductivity of >40,000 based
    on electrolytes in turn poisoning condensate water (0.3-0.5 micro S/cm ) proceeding to boiler with
    partial rise in normal conductivity value which will not alarm the operator

    Positive ions of sea water electrolytes passed from micro hole of condenser to condensate water
    are absorbed at cation exchanger leaving SO4-- and Cl- which will amplify the cation conductivity
    value to >10 micro S/cm alarming for early assessment of micro hole puncture in condenser tube

    To check performance of cation conductivity measurement system, by adding a very small


    quantity of sea water (in drops only) before the cation exchanger, huge variation in cation
    conductivity due to acidic nature by cation resin can be seen
