Boiler feed water needs to be treated with chemicals in order to prevent corrosion and scale formation. It is important to add the correct chemicals to your feed water in order to ensure that it functions correctly and produces heated water.
Porous forms of salts such as Calcium, Magnesium and high carbonaceous deposits precipitate and form dense uniform pitting and scaling over the boiler surfaces. With the feedwater, the dissolved solids and impurities begin to precipitate at the base, with a continuous accumulation.
Along with dissolved salts, there are also some suspended solids in that get precipitated as sludge. These are not hard as compared to scales, but if overlooked, gets hardened due to continuous heating in the boiler.
Feed water characteristics – Scales
There are a few basic things you need to know in order to add boiler feed water chemicals correctly. These include:
There are many benefits of adding proper levels of boiler feed water chemicals to your system. Some key benefits include:
Boiler water treatment and conditioning of feed water to maintain optimal heat exchange, and protection of the boilers. If you want your boiler to remain in good condition and be as efficient as possible, it’s important that the water remains free from impurities, which means that water treatment will be necessary.
There are two methods that can be used for the chemical treatment of boiler feed water, which include external treatment and internal treatment.
Both of these processes rely on the conditioning process, which essentially counteracts the hardness in water by introducing softening agents to the water. Once these agents have been placed in the water, most of the minerals, contaminants, and chemicals within the water should be altered or removed completely.
Mayuri has over five decades of experience in manufacturing boiler chemicals and consultation. With a wide portfolio to choose from to effectively counter or prevent mineral scales, metal oxides, hard deposits of water scale, iron oxides, oily contaminants, sludge, lime, and greasy deposits on the boiler surfaces.
Using these chemicals regularly ensures the protection of the system metallurgy, providing a long service life for the boiler system. We formulate a range of boiler chemicals to ensure the safety of the boiler and feed water. This formulation eliminates mineral scales, metal oxides, sludge, and other depositions, prevents corrosion caused by oxidation, maintains pH values, and removed oxygen instantly.
