Cluster characteristic of water used by energy facilities by total antiocidant activity

Abstract

Energy facilities are located on most large reservoirs, therefore, the issue of water quality is especially acute in the water area of such water bodies. The article describes 9 clusters of water with values of total antioxidant activity, isolated now on the basis of numerous analyses. Water with a simplified structure is distinguished, containing 1 cluster and characterized water bodies with an abundance of life. Ordinary water with 2 clusters in the structure is water widely used by humans for household consumption. Water with 3-4 clusters observed in artesian wells. The most complex in cluster composition is spring water (5 clusters). The complex cluster structure of water made it possible to propose an index of water structure, which reflects the percentage of clusters with certain values of total antioxidant activity and the degree of water trophy. As a result, the work provides the recommendations on the values of total antioxidant activity of water at the water intake and offtake of combined Heat and Power plant.
