Water treatment for chemical processes and regimes

The main problems of water-chemical regimes that occur at almost all TPPs in various combinations are

• corrosion of the boiler surface and steam lines leads to skidding on the turbine blades, which reduces generation and leads to premature equipment failure;
• overgrowth of heat exchange surfaces with hardness salts, which leads to increased energy consumption and fuel overruns;
• foaming in the boiler drum and removal of salts with foam into the steam pipeline, which leads to wear of the turbine blades and clogging of pipeline fittings.

For these reasons, all stages of water treatment, from water desalination to the introduction of chemicals that correct the pH in steam and boiler, are crucial to ensure the reliability of the system.
