The key role of HEDP in the power sector: preventing fouling and improving equipment stability

Within the power sector, HEDP (Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic Acid) plays a key role. This is a highly effective water quality maintenance agent. Its importance in ensuring the stable operation of equipment and the efficient use of energy can be seen through specific applications in the power industry.

Preventing scaling

In power generation, where equipment is often plagued by scaling, HEDP has a remarkable chelating function that binds to particles such as calcium and magnesium in the water. These particles are the key factors leading to scaling. Water systems treated with HEDP effectively reduce scale formation. This significantly increases equipment maintenance intervals, reduces overhead costs, and improves the stability of power production.

HEDP is highly effective in preventing scale formation. It reduces fouling more substantially than conventional chemicals under the same conditions. This has been verified through numerous experiments and practical applications. For power companies, the stable operation of equipment is directly related to the stability of power supply.

Corrosion protection

Most of the power equipment is made of metal, corrosion phenomenon can not be ignored. HEDP can generate a protective layer on the metal surface. The layer can block the corrosive substances in the water and metal contact.

In areas with high humidity, power station equipment often suffers from corrosion. Since the introduction of HEDP, the rate of corrosion of the equipment has been greatly reduced. This not only increases the service life of the equipment, but also greatly improves the stability of power production and effectively reduces the risk of accidents.

Improved power generation efficiency

HEDP prevents scaling and corrosion, so the heat exchange efficiency of the equipment is guaranteed. In critical equipment such as boilers, effective heat transfer is essential.

A large thermal power plant, for example, has significantly improved its energy conversion efficiency with the adoption of HEDP technology. This improvement has directly boosted power production. It also improves energy efficiency and indirectly reduces carbon emissions, meeting the development standards of the modern power industry.

Significant economic benefits

The use of HEDP has reduced the number of equipment repairs and lowered maintenance costs. In addition, it helps to ensure the stability of power production and effectively reduces the losses caused by equipment failures.

Since the introduction of HEDP in small hydropower plants, annual costs have been significantly reduced. These savings can be utilized for technological upgrades and other aspects. This move has significantly contributed to the development of small and medium-sized power companies.
