This document summarizes different methods of feed water treatment for steam boilers. It discusses mechanical filtration to remove large particles, chemical treatment to remove dissolved chemicals through coagulation or dispersion, thermal treatment, and demineralization. Mechanical filtration traps particles on filters but does not remove dissolved chemicals. Chemical treatment conditions sludge through coagulation with alkalis and phosphates or dispersion with phosphates and dispersants. Demineralization removes mineral ions through ion exchange, resulting in purified water. The document provides an overview of various feed water treatment methods used to purify water before steam generation in boilers.
