In the Kellogg process, what is the purpose of installing an online conductivity detector in the low-pressure water supply system?

The feed water is sent to the heat exchange equipment 1107-C in the decarburization system; here, the pressure of the feed water is higher than that of the solution, at a ratio of 5 KG to 1 KG. Electrical conductivity is measured here (according to the book, this allows detection of any leakage from the solution side into the feed water, thereby preventing contamination). But how can leakage occur? ? ? I don’t understand!
There are many situations in which the pressure of the solution may be higher than that of water, such as during shutdown periods. It is necessary to pay attention to the severity of the solution entering the water system under abnormal operating conditions
