What does water decarbonization mean in practice?
Removal of carbonate hardness may involve calcium and magnesium precipitation, ion exchange or partial membrane separation.
When does it matter?
The process reduces the potential for scale formation when heated, but does not remove non-carbonate hardness to the same extent.
Which solutions are related to it?
The method is selected depending on the alkalinity, hardness, scale of the installation and method of managing the resulting sludge or concentrate.
