How is condensate polishing used in chemical plants?

In chemical plants, condensate polishing is used to purify condensate for reuse in various processes, including heating, cooling, and steam generation. Impurities such as dissolved salts, silica, and organic materials can affect the quality of the process water and lead to equipment fouling or corrosion. Condensate polishing systems remove these impurities, ensuring that the water is of high purity and suitable for use in sensitive chemical reactions or as boiler feedwater. By maintaining the quality of the condensate, these systems improve process efficiency, reduce equipment maintenance, and minimize environmental impact.
