About HRSG Forum

The purposes of this user group are to produce educational events to further the technical development and expertise of those persons involved in designing, procuring, managing, operating, and maintaining power generation plants that incorporate Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs), to facilitate maximizing equipment reliability and minimize operating costs, and to foster improved communications between owner/operators and equipment manufacturers, and service providers. HRSG Forum is organized exclusively for educational and technical purposes.


Topics covered include:

  • HRSG tube failures (HTF) (FAC, thermal fatigue, creep-fatigue, under-deposit corrosion)
  • Pressure part failure mechanisms related to condensate, drains, and attemperator systems
  • Identifying and avoiding damaging thermal transients in pressure parts
  • Water treatment and cycle chemistry for HRSGs including Film Forming Substances (FFS)
  • HRSG preservation for different operational modes
  • Behavior and measurement of total iron for operation and daily start/stop
  • Material selection and new material applications
  • Optimization of plant controls
  • Environmental aspects
  • Fast Start HRSGs
  • Troubleshooting and maintenance of large valves
  • Improved reliability of steam turbine bypass systems
  • Balance of plant including the steam turbine, condenser, and air-cooled condenser
