Power plants and refineries use condensate boiler feed water and requires stringent purification standards. When steam goes through process equipment, it is potentially contaminated with lubricants, mineral oil fractions, or other dissolved organics. These organics end up in the condensate and could damage ion-exchange resins and cause coking and scaling in the boiler. YICARB activated carbons can effectively eliminate these contaminants in both fresh and recycled water, therefore effectively protecting the ion exchange resins and other expensive equipment from damage and deterioration.
Low silica leaching of activated carbon is a critical property to protect the downstream ion exchange resins and to prevent silica deposits on the steam turbines. Moreover, YICARB’s low ash content, high resistance to attrition and enhanced hardness can provide superior performance to make sure a longer lifetime of the filters. YICARB's advantages are:
Low Silica Leaching
Low Ash Content
High Resistance to Attrition
High Hardness
