The first annual HRSG Forum América Latina was held September 22-24, 2025, at Blue Tree Premium Morumbi, São Paulo, Brazil under the guidance of the newly formed steering committee consisting of: Júlio Paulin, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A Luiz Cortez, Âmbar Energia Willians Nunes, Eneva Luiz Felippe, ENPERA Assessoria Empresarial Ltda This inaugural event focused on issues […]

Film forming substances (FFS), including film forming amines (FFA) and other proprietary non-amine based FFS, are increasingly used in steam and HRSG cycles to reduce corrosion during operation and, especially, during shutdown and layup. In a January 27, 2026, CCJ-hosted webinar, the IAPWS Power Cycle Chemistry (PCC) committee explained what current guidance supports, why results

The eleventh annual European HRSG Forum (EHF2025), held May 13–15 in Prato, Italy, drew 95 participants from 20 countries. Co-chaired by Barry Dooley of Structural Integrity and Bob Anderson of Competitive Power Resources, EHF2025 continued its mission of advancing best practices and global knowledge-sharing in combined-cycle and HRSG operations. The event, organized by Mecca Concepts

Calls to the CCJ editorial office from Tucker York, SVI Bremco’s acoustical engineering guru, are always welcome. This outage season success story comes from a combined-cycle plant with chronic maintenance issues with the “egg-crate” turning vane weldment located in the HRSG transition duct immediately downstream of its 120-MW gas turbine. Over time, vane and support modifications intended to tame aerodynamic loading led to recurring weld

Held in Asheville, NC, in January 2025, the Vogt Power Combined Cycle Seminar delivered concentrated HRSG fundamentals, inspection how-tos, and deep technical case studies. End users compared notes with peers, and Babcock Power’s business units were on hand with design, construction, field, and product expertise. The content below highlights what attendees learned and why you should consider attending in February.  Session
