Condensate polishing ensures high-purity water by removing dissolved ions, suspended solids, and organic contaminants through a combination of mechanical filtration and ion exchange. The ion exchange resins in the system capture cations and anions, effectively reducing the conductivity of the water, while mechanical filters remove particulate matter. Mixed-bed resin units can be used for final polishing to achieve ultra-pure water quality. This process is essential in applications such as power generation, where high-purity water is needed to prevent scaling, corrosion, and equipment damage, thereby improving system reliability and efficiency.
