Insoluble impurities are ver y largely
metal oxides derived from corrosion of
the plant itself, par ticularly the materials
of construction of the condenser and
feed systems. Such corrosion is
minimised by maintaining the feed water
at an alkaline pH and by removing
dissolved oxygen down to ver y low
concentrations.
Soluble impurities in feed water most
frequently arise from in leakage of
cooling water from condensers and other
coolers, but can also results from poor
quality of make-up water .

To maintain boilers and turbines at a
high level of availability and ef ficiency,
the chemical control of water and steam
purity is aimed at the prevention of:
1. Corrosion of feed, boiler and steam
systems.
2. Scale and deposit formation on heat
transfer sur faces.
3. Deposition and corrosion of turbines.
