Steam generation systems - Water, steam and condensate treatment

Boiler conditioning is often summarized as "boiler water treatment". In fact, this simplistic shorthand expresses only part of the subject, both in terms of the nature of the fluid to be treated, and that of the steam or energy production tool. Indeed, steam and energy production involves a cycle of successive changes of state. Our aim will be to propose methods for selecting treatments to ensure the durability of equipment handling the different fluid states: liquid, steam, condensate, superheated water, both in terms of water pre-treatments and the additives used. Specific treatments will be proposed according to the energy production tools used: live steam production, electrical energy production, district heating, etc.

We'll be looking at the subject from both the boiler manufacturer's and the water treatment company's perspective: how to space out maintenance shutdowns? Optimizing efficiency? Energy recovery from blowdown? Automating monitoring?
