The state of work on automated monitoring and control of water chemistry at power stations and prospects for their future development

Materials on an automated system for chemical monitoring and control (ASCMC) of the water chemistry in the steam-water path of a thermal power station are presented. The equipment of the main subsystems within the ASCMC is considered, including its process subsystem, which comprises automatic analyzers of the quality of the steam-water path, and the information-computational subsystem. The latter is implemented using a hardware and software system that acquires, processes, and transmits information to the work-stations of the operators in charge of the water chemistry of the thermal power station.
