Power Generation Water
Scale, biofouling, corrosion and heat-transfer loss can affect cooling and water-dependent power-generation systems.
Understanding the application
Water Conditions Affect the Complete Operation
Puroxi does not begin with a product. We begin by understanding where the water comes from, how it moves through the site, what it contacts, what has already been tried and what the operation needs the water to do.
Cooling-water scale and biofouling
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Boiler and heat-exchanger deposits
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Corrosion, high temperature and concentration
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Water availability, blowdown and discharge
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Systems and applications

These photographs show genuine Puroxi equipment or approved application references. Final equipment selection and layout remain site-specific.
How Puroxi approaches the water
A Site-Specific Treatment Pathway
Characterize each cooling, boiler and service-water circuit
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Evaluate scale prevention, filtration and compatible oxidation
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Use side-stream circulation or gas transfer where suitable
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Tie treatment verification to heat-transfer performance
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Potential Puroxi treatment tools
Technologies Are Selected for What the Water Requires
Treatment areas
- Cooling water
- Heat exchangers and boilers
- Scale and biofouling
- Water, energy and blowdown efficiency
Technologies that may be considered
- Puroxi Nano Bubble Nozzles using ambient air, oxygen or another approved gas
- Puroxi Oxygen Generator for suitable on-site oxygen supply
- Quattro ultrasonic algae control where the water and biology are suitable
- Puroxi Oxygen Booster through a controlled water-test-based protocol
- Ultrasonic scale prevention, filtration, dosing, aeration and circulation
A technology appearing on this page does not mean it is suitable for every site. Puroxi may recommend one treatment method, a combination of independent systems or further testing before equipment selection.
Information required
What Puroxi Needs Before Recommending Equipment
Good design depends on accurate site information. Reports, photographs, drawings and operating history help prevent assumptions.
- Plant water balance and process diagrams
- Makeup and circulating-water chemistry
- Temperatures, pressures, metallurgy and heat load
- Chemical programme, blowdown and outage history
Relevant parameters may include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, nutrients, organics, metals, microbial information and algae identification, together with the process-specific information required for this industry.
Monitoring and verification
Measure the Water and the Operating Result
Approach, efficiency and heat-transfer indicators
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Scale, corrosion and deposit condition
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Conductivity, makeup and blowdown
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Water, chemical and energy use
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
The Puroxi process
Test. Design. Treat. Verify.
- Characterize the source and the operating problem.
- Define the objective, limitations and applicable requirements.
- Design the hydraulic, gas, treatment and monitoring arrangement.
- Commission, document, evaluate and refine the programme.
