27 November 2021

On November 25th, 2021, the Hellenic branch of IAPWS (International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam meeting) organized a meeting to discuss about innovative industrial water treatments. During the virtual event, Vangelis Kouvelos by Demoktritos participated presenting intelWATT project research activities and main expected impacts.

IAPWS is an international non-profit association of national organizations concerned with the properties of water and steam, particularly thermophysical properties, cycle chemistry guidelines, and other aspects of high-temperature steam, water and aqueous mixtures relevant to thermal power cycles and other industrial and scientific applications. IAPWS objectives are

  • To provide internationally accepted formulations for the properties of light and heavy steam, water and selected aqueous solutions for scientific and industrial applications. (Official documentation of these formulations is under the Releases and Guidelines section of this website)
  • To provide technical guidance, obtained by international consensus of experts, on cycle chemistry and technology for steam power cycles in fossil and combined cycle plants and other industrial applications. (These are expressed in IAPWS Technical Guidance Documents)
  • To define research needs and promote and coordinate research on steam, water and selected aqueous systems important in thermal power cycles
  • To collect and evaluate the resulting data, and to communicate and promulgate the findings
  • To provide an international forum for exchange of experiences, ideas and results of research on high-temperature aqueous media

This was the agenda of the day:

12:00-12:05     Introduction to IAPWS (A. Thanos, PPC)

12:05-12:25     Update on IAPWS activities (B. Dooley)

12:25-12:35     Q&A

12:35-12:40     Announcement from Prof. M. Assael

12:40-13.00     Preserving fresh water in industrial processes (E. Kouvelos, NCSRD)

13:00-13:10     Q&A

13:10-13:40     EDI technology for CACE measurement in Power and Industrial plants (K. Ioannou, Solidus-Swan)

13:40-13:50     Q&A

13:50-14:10     Open discussion on IAPWS structure
