IN CONCLUSION: Why is water treatment important?

Most of the make-up water that is lost every year leaks into the nature as a direct cause of neglected water treatment. A well- maintained plant through proper water chemistry is therefore also a safety issue in the daily operation as well as an economical and environmental gain. The new water treatment recommendations from the Danish District Heating Association can be downloaded from www. eurowater.com (English) and www.eurowater.de (German).

Optimum treated make-up water and circulating water are demineralized and deoxidized, free of mechanical impurities, and suitably alkalized with as few chemicals as possible. If these facts are disregarded, you run the risk of corrosions and precipitations in installations. The most common risks to district heating systems are: • Corrosion. • Leakage- loss of water and energy. • Bacteria growth. • Shortened plant life. • Shortened pipe networks life. • All risks are due to contents of oxygen, salt and mechanical impurities. COSTS, SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION If the make-up water is not treated, it may result in leakage and shortened plant life. The water treatment thus has a direct impact on the operational cost of a district heating plant and its pipe network. The recommended water treatment and water quality focus on corrosion prevention by minimal use of chemicals.
