EDI for Power Plants — Importance of Silica
Silica is critical in high-purity boiler water for power plants to prevent efficiency losses and maintenance issues.

High silica feedwaters pose two challenges for ultrapure water membrane systems. On the front end, silica can scale the RO membranes, limiting use of some feedwaters and high water recovery. On the back end, silica can scale the IX resins in the electrodeionization (EDI). It is also a challenge to attain the very low ppb … Read more
