Manage water quality to optimize throughput, equipment life, product quality

Water quality significantly affects refinery operations, from boilers, cooling units, and heat recovery systems, to the wastewater treatment plant. As a leading provider of water treatment products and services to the global refining industry, GE Water & Process Technologies offers a range of tools for achieving water-quality goals.

Cooling

GE offers Dianodic Plus halogen-stable cooling water treatments, including:

	Continuum AEC to control calcium carbonate deposition
	Dianodic III to control corrosion and microbiological growth on mild steel and copper
	Halogen-Resistant Azole (HRA) to inhibit corrosion on copper and copper-alloy heat exchanger surfaces
	Spectrus to control biological fouling and microbe growth

These products offer complete protection while allowing operation at higher cycles, at higher halogen levels (to minimize Legionella exposure), and under high-stress conditions.

Boiler and Waste-Heat Recovery

Boiler treatment programs from GE improve heat transfer, extend equipment life, and reduce operating costs. Programs address:

	External treatment
	Boiler feedwater treatment
	Internal treatment
	Steam purity
	Condensate treatment
	Fireside
	Shutdown and storage

Influent and Wastewater Treatment

GE treatment programs use specialty chemicals that remove pollutants, minimize sludge handling and disposal costs, improve effluent quality, conserve water, and ensure safe chemical handling. We work with you to develop complete programs to remove suspended matter, prevent foaming, eliminate odors, and disperse emulsions.
