Water Treatment Chemicals
NTPC operates various thermal power plants across India, and these plants require significant quantities of water for cooling and other processes. To maintain operational efficiency and environmental compliance, NTPC uses water treatment chemicals. These chemicals are essential for
- Cooling Water Treatment: Chemicals are used to prevent scaling, corrosion, and biological fouling in cooling water systems of power plants.
- Boiler Water Treatment: Chemicals are also used to treat boiler feedwater to prevent corrosion and scale formation inside boilers.
Environmental Management
NTPC places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and compliance with regulatory standards. Chemicals are used in environmental management practices such as
- Air Pollution Control: Chemicals may be used in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants.
- Effluent Treatment: Chemicals are utilized in wastewater treatment plants to treat effluents before discharge to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
