    Aggressive media
Application
The raw water, which is usually extracted from a river, cannot be fed untreated directly into the turbine circuit of the plant. It has to be treated first. To neutralize the water, either sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added. Level sensors supply the measurement data required to ensure a high availability of these chemicals and others used to treat the feed water.
