ABOUT US
As of January 1st, 2019, the publishing house Waesseri GmbH has been transformed into the new company PPCHEM AG. This change goes beyond branding and introducing a new company form: new areas of activity have also been introduced.
The new company PPCHEM AG will be active in the following three business areas:
PUBLISHING CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS CONSULTING AND TRAINING
PPCHEM AG will continue publishing the PPCHEM® journal in the same well-established manner and with the same publishing policy as in the past 20 years. Tapio Werder, the current editor in chief of the PPCHEM® journal, is looking forward to publishing the unique and truly international PPCHEM® journal in the future, building on the legacy of the PowerPlant Chemistry® journal.
The two new business areas "conferences and seminars" and "consulting and training" will mainly be covered by Michael Rziha, who joined PPCHEM AG on February 1st as the Chief Key Expert for Plant Chemistry. Michael Rziha will conduct worldwide seminars, lectures, and conferences on all power plant chemistry related topics, as well as provide individual technical consultancy.
With the reorganization and the added expertise, PPCHEM AG repositions itself to better serve its customers, building on the legacy of Waesseri GmbH and its precursor organization.
PUBLISHING
The PowerPlant Chemistry® journal is becoming the PPCHEM® journal
In July 1999 – 20 years ago – the first issue of the PowerPlant Chemistry® journal was published. Over the past 20 years the journal has become established as an international scientific and technical journal for users in the entire power generation market. The 20th anniversary of the journal is the right moment to take a look back at what has been achieved but also to look forward and think about the journal’s future.
Looking back, the publishing house PPCHEM AG is committed to continuing to publish the journal in the same well-established manner and with the same publishing policies as in the past 20 years. PPCHEM AG will also maintain an interesting mix of scientific peer-reviewed papers and technical reports from the power industry, all of them relating to the topics of water treatment and cycle chemistry in power and industrial plants.
Looking forward, PPCHEM AG intends to take every step necessary to ensure the journal’s future success. One of the most prominent steps has been the renaming of the journal: the PowerPlant Chemistry® journal is becoming the PPCHEM® journal! With the renaming of the journal, we would like to open the journal to authors, readers, and advertisers from outside the field of power generation. Water treatment and cycle chemistry are not only challenges in power generation but also in all industrial processes where water or steam is being used. Topics covered in the past such as corrosion, cycle chemistry guidelines, DeNOx and DeSOx processes, environmental aspects, flue gas cleaning, instrumentation, ion exchange, monitoring, physical chemistry, plant cycle chemistry, sampling, and wastewater treatment are not solely important in power generation but are of interest to the chemical, pharmaceutical, and process industries as well. The PPCHEM® journal wants to serve all users who are involved in efforts to increase reliability, availability, economic viability, and the operational and environmental safety of these processes.
PPCHEM AG is looking forward to publishing the unique and truly international PPCHEM® journal in the future, building on the legacy of 20 years of the PowerPlant Chemistry® journal.

CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS
From 2011 to 2018, PPCHEM AG and its precursor organization organized more than 20 Power Cycle Instrumentation Seminars (PCIS) around the world with the mission of expanding the knowledge of cycle chemistry and the understanding of analytical instruments. This series will be continued in the future – more information on upcoming events can be found on our webpage.
Another type of event organized by PPCHEM AG is the PPCHEM FORUM (PPCF), which provides even more time for the participants to discuss and share knowledge and experience with their colleagues from other power plants and with international experts. As a complement to the PCIS with its primary focus on sampling and instrumentation, the PPCF addresses topics related to water-steam cycle chemistry design, operations and troubleshooting. The first PPCF was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in March 2016 and its success convinced the organizers to continue with this new format. As of the end of 2018, PPCFs have been held in Beijing, Dubai, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, and Delhi.
PPCHEM AG will also introduce seminars and technical training sessions for operators at various locations around the globe. The topics will include, among others:
Basics of power plant chemistry Flow-accelerated corrosion Chemical cleaning Plant preservation Sampling and monitoring Cooling water Water treatment Steam chemistry Boiler chemistry
Further details on upcoming events are published on our website – stay tuned!
CONSULTING
We are offering our international and widely accepted experience and expertise in all hot topics related to power plant chemistry for thermal power plants of all types and sizes, whether it is an industrial plant, small or big sized, combined cycle plant, fired boilers, co-generation or solar.
Our service is independent and neutral and based on the current state of the art and latest guidelines, such as IAPWS, VGB, and other applicable standards.
Our Chief Key Expert for Plant Chemistry, Michael Rziha, will be your partner for all consultancy and training aspects.
We can provide our services in German, English, or Spanish.
We will provide consultancy for all the various stages of a power plant project, such as:
Early design of / assistance with detailed specifications of Water treatment plants Condensate polishing plants Chemistry and chemical regimes for the steam-water cycle Cooling water chemistry Sampling and monitoring Dosing systems Lab equipment Design review of existing specs and P&IDs
Support for chemical cleaning Planning and specification for RfQs Assistance in the selection of a cleaning company Assistance with / review of detailed cleaning procedures
Commissioning Supervision of chemical cleaning Chemical assistance during initial start-up Review of commissioning programs and documentation
Operation Cycle chemistry review / opportunities for optimization Review of chemical operating regime and practices Evaluation of risks Chemistry support for cycling plants (e.g. interim preservation measures, start-up procedures, etc.)
