Purification is carried out in two main directions: mechanical and chemical.

Mechanical Purification: Fighting Sand and Silt

1. Screen filters — simple to maintain and reliable;

2. Disc filters — provide fine filtration and are suitable for large water volumes;

3. Membrane filters — used in sensitive system areas;

4. Hydrocyclones — effectively separate heavy inclusions through centrifugal force.

Each type of filtration is selected based on specific operating conditions.

Chemical Treatment: Removing Dissolved Threats

Chemical water treatment involves the use of various technologies:

• ion exchange filtration,

• sorption on activated materials,

• osmotic installations,

• softening and demineralization systems.

Special attention is paid to the removal of calcium, iron and magnesium salts, which cause scale formation and corrosion. pH level control is mandatory: ideally, it should tend toward a neutral value (pH ≈ 7).

"Clean water is the fuel for clean energy" — states the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Conclusion

Effective water treatment is the insurance of the entire energy system. Without it, even the most modern installations are doomed to premature wear and accidents. Today, automation transforms the water purification process into a manageable, predictable and, most importantly, reliable technology, ensuring sustainable operation of energy facilities for years to come.
