Abstract

The present invention provides an operation method of a plant which has a low-pressure feed water heater, a deaerator and a high-pressure feed water heater sequentially arranged in a feed water pipe reaching a steam generator from a condenser, and leads high-temperature feed water to the steam generator, wherein an oxidant is injected onto a surface of a structural material from an oxidant injection line in order to form a film that suppresses an elution of an element constituting the structural material such as the feed water pipe, the low-pressure feed water heater, the deaerator and the high-pressure feed water heater, which come in contact with the high-temperature feed water, and a corrosion suppression substance is further introduced from a corrosion suppression substance introduction line in order to deposit the corrosion suppression substance on a surface of the structural material in which corrosion accelerated by a flow of the feed water occurs.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

forming an oxide film for suppressing an elution of an element constituting a structural material of at least one of the feed water pipe, the low-pressure feed water heater, the deaerator and the high-pressure feed water heater which come in contact with the high-temperature feed water, on a surface of the structural material by injecting an oxidant into the high-temperature feed water of which pH is adjusted to 9 to 10 during generation of power; and
depositing a corrosion suppression substance on the oxide film formed on the surface of the structural material in a region in which the corrosion accelerated by a flow of a feed water occurs, by introducing the corrosion suppression substance into the feed water, the corrosion suppression substance being oxide or hydroxide containing one or more elements selected from Ti, Zr, Ce, Nb, La, Nd and Y.

2. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide film is formed by injecting at least one oxidant selected from a group of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and ozone into the high-temperature feed water.

3. The plant operation method according to claim 2 , wherein the oxidant is injected in a downstream side of the condenser and in an upstream side of the low-pressure feed water heater in the feed water pipe.

4. The plant operation method according to claim 2 , wherein the oxidant to be injected into the feed water for forming the film is injected so as to make a dissolved oxygen concentration in the feed water 5 ppb or more.

5. The plant operation method according to claim 2 , wherein an injection amount of the oxidant to be injected into the feed water is controlled by monitoring a corrosion potential of the feed water.

6. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the corrosion suppression substance is titanium oxide and 5 μg/cm 2 or more of the titanium oxide is deposited on the surface of the structural material.

7. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the corrosion suppression substance is in a state of colloid or slurry having a fine particle diameter and is deposited on the surface of the structural material by spraying, thermal spraying or injection into the feed water.

8. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the corrosion suppression substance is introduced in a downstream side of the condenser and in an upstream side of the high-pressure feed water heater in the feed water pipe.

9. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the feed water flowing in an inside of the structural material of the feed water pipe has a temperature of 15° C. or higher and 350° C. or lower.

10. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein a flow of the feed water, which accelerates corrosion, has a flow velocity of 1 msec or more and 20 msec or less.

11. The plant operation method according to claim 1 , wherein hydrogen is injected in the feed water flowing in an inside of the structural material of the feed water pipe.

12. The plant operation method according to claim 11 , wherein the hydrogen is injected so as to make a dissolved hydrogen concentration in the feed water 1 ppb or more.

13. An operation system of a secondary system of a pressurized-water-type nuclear power plant which has a low-pressure feed water heater, a deaerator and a high-pressure feed water heater sequentially arranged in a feed water pipe reaching a steam generator from a condenser, and leads high-temperature feed water of which pH is adjusted to 9 to 10 to the steam generator, the plant operation system comprising:
an oxidant injection unit which is provided in a downstream side of the condenser and in an upstream side of the low-pressure feed water heater in the feed water pipe, and during generation of power injects an oxidant for forming an oxide film into the high-temperature feed water, the oxide film suppressing an elution of an element constituting a structural material of at least one of the feed water pipe, the low-pressure feed water heater, the deaerator and the high-pressure feed water heater, which come in contact with the high-temperature feed water, onto a surface of the structural material; and
