Steam condensate in refineries and power plants, is reused in high pressure steam boilers to conserve resources and energy. When steam goes through process equipment, it is potentially contaminated with lubricants, mineral oil fractions, or other dissolved organics. These organics end up in the condensate and could cause coking and scaling in the boiler. 

NORIT® activated carbon is used to remove the organic contaminants. It is a key component in the condensate polishing unit, helping to maintain proper water quality for boiler usage.

Low silica leaching of activated carbon is a critical property to protect downstream ion exchangers and prevent silica deposits on the steam turbines.

We offer:

• Washed activated carbon with low silica leaching
• Premium grade NORIT ROY 0.8 with superior dissolved oil / organics removal capacity and lowest silica leaching. The low dust extruded pellet also offers reduced rinsing and commissioning water requirements

Filter design with optimal contact time and pressure drop can be advised by our technical support engineers.

Analytical services help you evaluate the activated carbon conditions and optimize changeout cycles.
