Condensate Polishing with Low and High Pressure Systems Including Spherical Condensate Polishing Unit Design and External Regeneration

It is expected that the electricity demand will increase by 70% globally from 2010 to 2035 (avg. 2.2% per year). For this, bulk of the projected capacity additions is expected to come from Thermal Power Plants. Other than India, China, and USA, key growth countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia have majority of their future power generation from Thermal Power Plants. More and more “Super Critical Boiler” applications are seen in current trends, which require high boiler feed pressure. In essence, Condensate Polishing attributes as a critical component in “Thermal Power Plants” to ensure availability, reliability, and assist in achieving optimum performance. High pressure design requirement, coupled with requirement of resin transfer for external regeneration, poses very significant hydraulic and mechanical design challenges for “High Pressure Condensate Polishing”.
