Abstract
Abstract Since its installation in June, 1942, the high-pressure forced-circulation boiler at Somerset Station of the Montaup Electric Company, which is designed to produce 650,000 lb of steam per hr at 1950 psi, has been of considerable general interest, because of certain unique features in power-plant practice. Operation for the first 9 months, using standard sodium chemical treatment for water conditioning, was unsatisfactory. A potassium treatment was evolved, which corrected the adverse conditions. Today the Somerset Stations’ high pressure boiler is in every respect an excellent commercial steam generator.
