Coordinated an industry task force established to investigate the
occurrence, causes, and solutions for corrosion/erosion and
mechanical/engineering failures in the waterside systems (e.g.,

Corrosion/erosion failures caused by water and steam contamination that
were investigated included waterside corrosion caused by poor
microbiological treatment of cooling water, steam-side corrosion caused
by ammonia-oxygen attack of copper alloys, stress-corrosion cracking of
copper alloys in the air cooling sections of condensers, tube sheet
leaks, oxygen in-leakage through condensers, volatilization of silica in
boilers and carry over and deposition on turbine blades, and iron
corrosion on boiler tube walls.  Mechanical/engineering failures
investigated included: steam impingement attack on the steam side of
condenser tubes, tube-to-tube-sheet joint leakage, flow-induced
vibration, structural design problems, and mechanical failures due to
stresses induced by shutdown, startup and cycling duty, among others. 
Worked with electric utility plant owners/operators, condenser and
boiler vendors, and architect/engineers to collect data to document the
occurrence of and causes for these problems, prepared reports
summarizing the investigations, and presented the results and
participated on a committee of industry experts tasked with identifying
solutions to prevent condenser failures.
