Davis-Besse operating data, obtained using the plant`s Chemistry Data Acquisition and Management System (CDAMS) show that by polishing 15--20% of the moisture separator drains the entire drain flow can be pumped forward, saving 5.4 MWe of plant output. Concurrently, the useful lifetimes of condensate polishers were extended by factors of about 6, reducing resin replacement costs by approximately $450,000 per year.
