Lead FGD - Operations & Maintenance (Chemistry)

Boiler & Steam-Water Chemistry Management

• Monitor and maintain boiler water, feed water, condensate, and steam chemistry parameters within prescribed limits.

• Ensure compliance with plant chemistry guidelines and OEM recommendations.

• Perform routine chemical testing and analysis for pH, conductivity, silica, hardness, phosphate, dissolved oxygen, iron, copper, and alkalinity.

• Support optimization of boiler chemical dosing systems and treatment programs.

• Identify chemistry deviations and recommend corrective actions.

FGD Chemistry & Process Monitoring

• Monitor FGD process chemistry including limestone slurry quality, gypsum quality, chloride levels, sulfite/sulfate balance, and pH control.

• Ensure optimum reagent consumption and process efficiency.

• Analyze FGD effluent quality and support wastewater treatment system operations.

• Assist in troubleshooting scaling, corrosion, fouling, and process upsets within FGD systems.

Laboratory Operations

• Conduct laboratory testing and chemical analysis using standard methodologies.

• Ensure calibration and upkeep of laboratory instruments and analyzers.

• Maintain records of analytical results and prepare chemistry performance reports.
