The article discusses the desalination technologies that will meet the demand for industrial water in China. It states that the desalination process has provided an unlimited supply of boiler-quality water and that the country has now become the leading water desalination technology user. Several charts depicting water treatments which include the water quality definition, Xiao HuLi River's average water quality, and Boiler makeup water requirements of Huarun Power Plant are presented.

The article offers information about the measurement of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution (pH measurement) of industrial waters used in chemical process industries (CPI). Topics include the chemistry of quantity pH which measures the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, the role of a pH-sensitive electrode in the measurement of pH, and the purpose of the reference electrode in the measurement.

Zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) water treatment is already required in some parts of the world, and the experience gained in those areas with new technologies may help power generators in other regions evaluate their options as regulations or resource issues make ZLD increasingly important.
