Condensate polishing: A highly important safety net for more efficient plants

摘要

Condensate polishing is an understated but extremely vital aspect of plant maintenance. Polishing condensate prevents the concentration of soluble impurities, which could corrode internals and cause damage to boilers and turbines. Corrosion, in turn, could cause insoluble impurities such as copper, iron, and silica to re-circulate in the stream.
