Clean boiler water works
November 1st 2006 Untreated or poorly treated boiler water will result in scale buildup, corrosion, overheating and eventual boiler failure. An effective boiler water treatment program should maximise boiler efficiency by: Monitoring boiler feedwater chemistry, thus preventing sludge build up in the water level and blowdown controls and scale formation on heat transfer surfaces. Enabling pure steam production by elimination of boiler water carry over. Maintaining the correct boiler feedwater chemistry, preventing general corrosion of boiler surfaces and localised corrosion of condensate return lines. Sampling and testing of boiler feedwater should be a routine part of a maintenance program. Kittiwake provides a wide range of water treatment test kits and analytical instruments. The ECON range of test equipment enables water treatment engineers and operators to ensure treatments such as corrosion and scale inhibitors are correctly dosed.
