Abstract
The first two MSF plants (11,500 M 3/d each) at Sitra Power Station, Bahrain have been in commercial operation since 1976. The units had a history of severe corrosion problems in the vapour spaces since early years of commissioning. This problem was adequately addressed in the IDA conference held in Bahrain in 1981. Extensive studies followed by various trial modification were made on one unit in 1984 and 1985, with the objective of finding the most cost effective measures for rehabilitation to ensure an operational capability to the end of the designed commercial life or beyond. A rehabilitation programme was established in 1986 and the mechanical rehabilitation works were successfully completed by Sasakura Engineering Co., Ltd., Japan on both units by July 1987 and the waranty condition confirmed. This paper gives details of the trial modifications, rehabilitation works and the resulting improvements.
