Note
The addition of phosphate is recommended, but is not always essential.
Conversion: 1 mol/m
Operation with salt-free boiler feedwater is also possible as an alternative to operation
with saline boiler feedwater.

If phosphate is used, higher PO
sideration of all other values, e.g. with balanced or coordinated phosphate treat-
ment. (See section "Conditioning")
