Good-bye Cavitation
How one of the largest South Korean power plants finally found a solution to the cavitation problems of its Automatic Recirculation Valves

Dongducheon Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) is one of the largest CCPPs in South Korea having a power production capacity of 1,716MW (858MW x 2 Units). The plant consists of 4 gas turbines + 2 steam turbines and generators supplied by MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd) and the 6 BFW pumps supplied by Hyosung Goodsprings.

Ever since the commissioning stage of the plant in 2015, the plant has faced serious cavitation problems in the AR Valves protecting the pumps because the ARVs are often operated under extremely critical operating conditions.
