Boiler Water Treatment

It is necessary for the water in the boiler be treated to achieve great steam production at a lower cost. Another reason is that the water has chemical elements it that must be controlled to limit and eliminate the formation of scaling, corrosion and entrainment in the boiler.

Scaling may cause low heat transfer at the point of deposits. Some of the more common scale forming constituents are silica, iron, oil, hardness and sugar. Corrosion causes development of weak spots which could lead to failure. Corrosion may be due to chloride, iron, sugar, oil and dissolved gases such as oxygen. Entrainment is often caused by variety f soluble and suspended solids.

Chemicals were put in the high pressure and low pressure chemical injection tank to control the formation of the chemical elements that is carried by the water to the boiler.
