Sources and makeup: Feedwater typically consists of condensate returned from the steam cycle (the hot liquid
Treatment and quality control: Feedwater undergoes pretreatment such as filtration and sometimes softening to remove hardness.
Operational aspects: Concentration of impurities is managed by controlled blowdown, which removes a portion of the
Applications and context: Feedwater is used in steam generation across power plants, refineries, chemical plants, and
