water plant for power plant

For power plants to effectively run vital systems like boilers, turbines, and cooling towers, a steady supply of high-purity water is necessary. Gujarat Ion Exchange and Chemicals Limited (GIECL) provides state-of-the-art water treatment facilities made especially for the electricity generation sector. These systems are designed to remove pollutants like silica, dissolved salts, hardness, and suspended particulates from raw water that comes from a variety of sources, including surface water, groundwater, and municipal supplies. Pre-treatment, ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and electrodeionization (EDI) are the processes used in GIECL's water plants to create demineralized water that meets high purity requirements for use in steam systems and high-pressure boilers. Increased equipment life, decreased scale and corrosion, and increased plant efficiency are the outcomes.
