Horse Pucky . . . .
Turbine systems in electric generating plants and ships
go to tremendous lengths to rid boiler water of ALL
things NOT water . . . contaminant ranges from 25 to 50
parts per MILLION are the goals. . . . minerals in the
block? What minerals? I'd like this guy to show me (1) an
metalurgical analysis that shows where these minerals
reside and (2) explain how the molecules "migrate" from
within the alloy to the surface where this "water with
an appetite" is to be fed.
