Sea water has far too much dissolved solids in it for a modern steam boiler, which would quickly get clogged up with salts left behind from water evaporation. In fact even ordinary mains fresh water has to be demineralised, that is purified, before it is suitable. The cool water coming out of the condenser could be drunk as it is very pure, but it is under vacuum at that point so it would need to be pumped out.

What is Auxiliary Boiler?

An auxiliary boiler is a secondary boiler used to support the main boiler in a steam power plant or marine vessel. It is often used when the main boiler is unable to meet the steam demands, providing additional steam capacity. Auxiliary boilers can also be used for heating purposes during maintenance or downtime of the main boiler.

What is phosphate conditioning define?

This process is used in internal conditioning of boiler water, on the one hand and conditioning of cooling and process water, on the other orthophosphate such as trisodium phosphate and complex phosphates scuh as sodium hexametaphosphate are both used in steam boilers to precipitate whatever small amounts of calcium ion reach the boiler water through the pretreatment system or by leakage through the condensor. sodium hexametaphosphate is advantageous where the boiler water naturally tents to become too alkaline because it reduces this excess alkalinity by reverting to an acid orthophosphate in the boiler. Sodium hexametaphosphate is also widely used for minimizing the corrosion and pickup of iron by water in circulating cooling systems, in plant water distribution systems, and in municipal systems.
