Head for Orlando, FL!

PowerPlant Chemistry 2011, 13(8), 472–482

The last time we published an erratum on this homepage was in May 2010. Now, more than one year later, we have to inform you about a serious mistake that was made in the September 2011 issue. In our article "Head for Orlando, FL!" (PowerPlant Chemistry 2011, 13(8), 472–482), we correctly stated the place and the date of the 72nd Annual International Water Conference® (Orlando, FL, November 13–17, 2011); unfortunately, we included the abstracts of the presentations from the 71st Annual International Water Conference® (IWC) instead of those to be held at the 72nd Annual IWC.

We sincerely apologize for this serious error. However, our statement that "this year, power plant chemists and engineers interested in power plant chemistry-related topics have an additional but very important reason to pay Orlando a visit: on November 13–17, the 72nd Annual International Water Conference® (IWC) will take place in Orlando" still holds true.

Please download here all the abstracts of the papers to be presented in Orlando.

Figures 3 and 4 (page 249) are entirely incorrect. The corrected version of the figues can be downloaded now. The corrected article is also available for free.

What Is Plant Cycle Chemistry and Why Is It Important for Steam and Power Generating Plants?

Now we have to inform you about our most recent mistake: In the February 2008 issue, in Lesson 1 – What Is Plant Cycle Chemistry and Why Is It Important for Steam and Power Generating Plants?, there is a problem with Figure 1 (page #123). In the caption of the figure, you read Simplified schema of a plant cycle with a drum boiler; in the figure, however, there is a simplified sketch of a once-through boiler. Although this detail does not detract from the understanding of the basic configuration of a plant cycle, which this figure is intended to aid in, this mistake has to be corrected.
