Purification of turbine condensate in the lumped desalinization units of the Mosénergo TÉTs-22 Heat and Electric Power Plant

Purification of turbine condensate by mechanical and ion exchange resin (ionite) filters in lumped desalinization units is examined. Loading mechanical filters with styrene copolymer and divinyl benzene ensures efficient removal of petroleum products and iron, but does not fulfil the task of removing polar organic compounds. The ionite part of a lumped desalinization unit ensures removal of easily electrolyzed compounds and silicic acid but is ineffective with regard to capture of organic contamination and iron, which indicates significant contamination of the load in the combination filter by organic compounds. “Cold” (standard) and “hot” regeneration of the anionite load are undertaken. Greater extraction of organic substances is observed with “hot” regeneration. Translated from élektricheskie stantsii, No. 5, May 2008, pp. 17–22.
