'''Condensate polishing''' is a process used to purify the steam condensate produced in high-pressure steam generation facilities such as those in large thermal power plants (either nuclear or fuel-fired). Steam condensate is the water formed by condensing the exhaust steam from the steam-driven turbines in thermal power plants and which is recycled for reuse as the major part of the steam generation feedwater.

Condensate polishing is a process used to purify the steam condensate produced in high-pressure steam generation facilities such as those in large thermal power plants (either nuclear or fuel-fired). Steam condensate is the water formed by condensing the exhaust steam from the steam-driven turbines in thermal power plants and which is recycled for reuse as the major part of the steam generation feedwater.
