Boiler water treatment
Boiler water treatment is a type of industrial water treatment
focused on removal or chemical modification of substances
potentially damaging to the boiler.
It is used to control alkalinity, prevent scaling, correct pH, and to
control conductivity.
The main objectives to treat and condition boiler water is to
exchange heat without scaling, protect against scaling and produce
high quality steam.
Internal treatment is for boiler feed water External treatment is for make up feed water
Characteristics of impure water
Problem caused
Dissolved oxygen Pitting corrosion
Carbon dioxide Condensate corrosion
Calcium/Magnesium Scaling
Sodium/Potassium Corrosion
Chloride/Sulphate Corrosion
Carbonates/Bicarbonates Scaling/Foaming
Hydroxides Scaling/Foaming
Silica Scaling/Deposition
Insoluble/Nonionic Suspended solids/Slit Fouling
Others Oil/Organics Foaming/Carryover
Impurity
Gaseous
Soluble/Ionic
Scale and sludge
Scale Sludge
Definition Scale is a hard adhering crust/coating on
the inner walls of the boiler.
Sludge is a soft, loose and slimy
precipitate formed on the inner walls of
the boiler.
Disadvantages 1.Wastage of fuel
2.Lowering of boiler safety
3.Decrease in efficiency
4.Danger explosion
1.Wastage of fuel
2.Choking of pipes
Prevention Dissolving by adding chemicals
By using well softened water
By using well softened water
By frequently blow down operation
Thank You
