What is the process overview of condensate polishing?

The condensate polishing process involves several key stages. First, the condensate passes through mechanical filters to remove larger suspended particles. It then enters ion exchange resin columns, where dissolved salts and ions are removed, enhancing the condensate’s purity. In some systems, mixed-bed resins are used to achieve a higher level of purification. Finally, the polished condensate is monitored for quality parameters such as conductivity and pH before being returned to the process or boiler. Regular maintenance of the filters and resins, including regeneration, ensures that the system continues to operate efficiently.
