Boiler Feedwater Pre-treatment
Ensure optimal boiler performance, minimize operational risks, and extend equipment lifespan with FiltMem ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology.
Ensuring Reliable and Efficient Operations through Optimized Water Management
In power plants and industrial facilities, boiler systems rely on ultra-clean feedwater to prevent scaling, corrosion, and efficiency losses. Contaminants such as suspended solids, colloidal silica, and microorganisms can severely affect boiler operation and damage critical equipment.
FiltMem ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology provides a robust, reliable pre-treatment solution — protecting demineralization systems such as reverse osmosis (RO) and ion exchange (IX) while ensuring long-term boiler performance and reliability.
Key Challenges in Boiler Feedwater Pre-Treatment
Maintaining high water quality is essential for the reliable and efficient operation.
Feedwater can fluctuate depending on the source.
Particles and colloids can clog RO/ion exchange resins.
Humic substances and algae cause biofouling.
Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and SiO₂ scaling under high temperatures.
UF membrane materials must withstand oxidants (e.g., Cl₂)
Synergy between UF, RO, and EDI impacts recovery rate.
