Condensate polishing is critical in energy production because it ensures that the condensate used in steam cycles is free from impurities that can cause scaling, corrosion, and fouling of boilers, turbines, and other critical equipment. Impurities such as dissolved salts, silica, and corrosion products can significantly reduce the efficiency of energy production and increase maintenance costs. By removing these impurities, condensate polishing systems help maintain the efficiency and reliability of power plants, extend the lifespan of equipment, and reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements.
