HRSG Users Handbook

Design Operation Maintenance

Since 1993, the HRSG User's Group has brought together users, manufacturers, service providers, and consultants from around the world to discuss the design, operation, and maintenance of heat-recovery steam generators. After a decade of technical meetings, the Group captured the many lessons its members had learned in a practical set of HRSG guidelines. That 1st Edition proved highly valuable to owner/operators, project developers, manufacturers, design engineers, insurance representatives, and many other industry participants in 41 countries. HRSG Users Handbook, 2nd Edition, builds upon that first effort, and goes well beyond! Published in 2006, the 2nd Edition captures the industrys latest and best thinking in greater depth and clarity, with all-new chapters contributed by a team of 30 combined-cycle authoritiesall experts in their respective fields who have actively participated in HRSG Users Group meetings for many years, and who know first-hand the information needed to achieve operational excellence. At 512 pages, HRSG Users Handbook comprises nearly three times more substance than the 1st Edition! It is more comprehensive in its span, more detailed in its content, and more visually interesting with better graphics, textbook-style layouts, and a durable, permanently bound hardcover. The information presented has never been compiled previously in such detail and made available at an affordable price. Only the HRSG User's Group could have put together such a wide-ranging and up-to-date handbook! The Group tapped its 1200-plus members and hand-picked the top industry authorities to author the book's 40 insightful chapters. Contributing companies include HRSG users, designers, engineering consultants, and water-treatment specialists.
