559-07 - Industrial Water Treatment Systems
Learning objectives
- Describe how the source of raw water impacts which treatment systems and procedures are required
- Follow the flow from the source through the water treatment system
- Describe the systems and components used in the following pre-treatment operations: clarification, filtration, demineralization
- List chemicals commonly used in water treatment and identify their purpose
- Discuss chemical cleaning options and explain how they impact the boiler and turbine efficiency
Course overview
The proper processing and treatment of raw water to reach high quality boiler feedwater is essential to maintaining boiler efficiency and performance. Water pre-treatment and treatment involves many steps and chemicals. The systems used must handle large volumes of water while removing specific contaminants.
The Industrial Water Treatment Systems training course builds on information provided in previous lessons. It examines the entire water treatment system step-by-step. This online course describes the water pre-treatment and treatment process as it may exist in a typical industrial plant. It also discusses chemical cleaning options for boilers and turbines. This course explores:
- Raw water sources flow
- Clarification
- Filtration
- Ion exchange or demineralization
- Water treatment chemicals
- Chemical cleaning
This course is part of the Water Treatment training series.
