A condensate polishing system supports power generation by ensuring that the condensate used in steam cycles is free from impurities. Impurities such as dissolved salts, silica, and corrosion products can cause scaling, corrosion, and fouling in boilers and turbines, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. By removing these impurities, condensate polishing systems protect critical equipment, enhance the reliability of the steam cycle, and maintain the overall efficiency of power generation. Regular maintenance of the system, including resin regeneration and filter replacement, is essential to ensure long-term operational success.
