Feed water treatment for boilers have several applications in almost all industries and facilities.
The importance of treating water prior to the boiler process cannot be underestimated. Removal of organics, suspended particles, dissolved minerals, and dissolved gases is critical to avoid scaling and fouling, damaging and reducing the longevity of the expensive boiler/turbine process.
A number of treatment options may be considered, but the most common design consists of pretreatment filtration and chemical addition for removal of particulate matter and conditioning of the water chemistry. This is followed by a membrane process for the bulk reduction of dissolved minerals and a final polishing ion exchange step.
