    Power Plant Chemistry: After Cation Conductivity (Acc)

    The document discusses After Cation Conductivity (ACC), which measures the electrolytic conductivity of a liquid sample after it passes through a cation exchange resin column. ACC is used to detect low levels of anion contaminants like chlorides and sulfates in parts per billion on a continuous basis in power plant steam and water systems. A sample flows through a cation column, which replaces contaminating cations with hydrogen ions. This increases the conductivity from contaminant salts by 3-4 times, amplifying the sensitivity of conductivity analyzers to detect minor contamination issues. ACC is typically measured on main steam, reheat steam, condensate, and feedwater samples to maintain high purity and minimize corrosion in power plant steam-water cycles

    AFTER CATION CONDUCTIVITY(ACC)


    What is After Cation
    Conductivity(ACC)

    • Cation Conductivity also known as


    Acid Conductivity and Conductivity
    After Cation Exchange (CACE) is the
    measure of electrolytic conductivity of
    a liquid sample after that liquid sample
    has passed through an ion exchange
    resin column containing cation resin in
    the hydrogen form.
    WHY ACC IS MEASURED

    The measurement was adopted for monitoring the


    power plant steam / water cycle as it can detect
    low levels of anion contaminants such as
    chlorides, sulphates, and organic acids (parts per
    billion) on a continuous basis, while at the same
    time the measurement is very simple and easy to
    maintain.
    Where ACC Measured?
    Typically measured on Main Steam or Reheat Steam samples,
    Condensate samples, Feed-water samples, and Boiler or Heat
    Recovery Steam Generator evaporator drum samples

    TYPICAL DIAGRAM OF A POWER PLANT


    SIGNIFICANCE OF ACC
    • In the power plant Steam-water cycle is maintained at a high
    purity level to minimize the potential for corrosion and
    deposition. This steam and water will typically be
    conditioned with an alkaline chemical such as ammonia to
    further reduce the potential for corrosion.
    HOW ACC MEASURED
    • In practice, a cooled sample of condensate or high purity water flows
    through a cation exchanger in the hydrogen form. The cation resin
    replaces contaminating cations such as Ca++, Mg++, Na+, NH4+, and
    amines in the sample with hydrogen ions.
    NaCl, KCl , CaSO4,MgCl , NH4OH etc
    Contaminated Sample with minerals

    + Na+Cl- Na+ + HCl


    (MINERAL) (ACID)
    (CATION EXCHANGE RESIN)
    CATION COLUMN

    ION-EXCHANGE REACTIONS HCl, H2SO4, H2O etc


    HOW ACC MEASURED…

    • The hydrogen ions exchanged for the other cations in the


    sample increase the conductivity contributed by the
    contaminant salts of mineral acid anions listed above by 3 or 4
    times. Thus the cation exchange column can be thought of as a
    "conductivity amplifier" for mineral and organic acid
    contaminants; increasing the sensitivity of the conductivity
    analyzer to low levels of contamination. "
