syöttövedestä

Syöttövesi refers to the water used in industrial processes, particularly in steam boilers. It is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of these systems. The quality of syöttövesi directly impacts the lifespan of the boiler and the purity of the steam produced. Impurities in syöttövesi, such as dissolved minerals, salts, and suspended solids, can lead to a variety of problems.

These impurities can cause scale formation on the internal surfaces of the boiler, reducing heat transfer efficiency and increasing energy consumption. Scale can also lead to overheating and potential boiler failure. Furthermore, dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in syöttövesi can cause corrosion of boiler components, leading to costly repairs and replacements. Other contaminants can affect the quality of the steam, making it unsuitable for specific industrial applications where purity is paramount, such as in food processing or pharmaceutical manufacturing.

To prevent these issues, syöttövesi undergoes a rigorous treatment process. Common treatment methods include filtration to remove suspended solids, deaeration to remove dissolved gases, and demineralization to remove dissolved minerals. Ion exchange and reverse osmosis are widely used techniques for demineralization. The specific treatment required depends on the raw water quality and the demands of the industrial process. Maintaining the correct chemistry of the syöttövesi, including pH and alkalinity, is also essential for optimal performance and longevity of the steam generation system.
