VGB-S-010-T-00:2011-12

The VGB-Standard 'Feed Water, Boiler Water and Steam Quality for Power Plants / Industrial Plants' covers all pressure ranges applied to boilers generating heat, steam and/or electricity. In general the VGB-Standard covers steady state/full load operation of those boilers as well as start up operation mode by using action levels. This concept allows a quite flexible approach to combine requirements of the materials used throughout the water-steam cycle with economical needs of the plant operator.
The VGB-Standard does not deliver absolute limiting values of chemical parameters but demonstrates permissible operation ranges to achieve minimal corrosion within the water-steam cycle and to reach an optimised lifetime of the plant.
