Boiler feedwater combines treated make-up water with recovered condensate to support steam production. Its quality influences scale formation, corrosion, and deposits throughout the boiler system. Treatment requirements depend on incoming water chemistry, boiler operating pressure, and the amount and condition of condensate returned from the process.
Reverse osmosis and deionization help reduce dissolved salts and mineral ions in make-up water before it enters the feedwater system. These purification steps must fit the facility’s broader approach to feedwater conditioning and steam-system operation. AirBTU helps customers evaluate source-water quality, required purity, flow rates, and available installation space, then connect with water-treatment solutions suited to their boiler feed application.
