The fastest-growing sector in the water conditioning chemical application industry is cogeneration and cogeneration power plants. These facilities have unique operating conditions. Waste heat boilers or high-pressure steam boilers are used. In high-pressure steam boilers, oxygen consumers that are economically viable but have certain risks are used. In the case of sending steam to food establishments, it is necessary for ascorbic acid to act as an oxygen consumer.
In cases where steam generators sell steam to customers, which is common in cogeneration power plants, it is necessary to use film-forming condensate conditioning chemicals containing effective amines, as the distance of the lines will be considerable.
If demineralized or reverse osmosis water is used in cooling towers, an effective film-forming corrosion inhibitor should be used.
