Common Chemicals Used in Boiler Water Treatment
Industrial boilers and steam raising plant are extensively used in the various industrial and manufacturing plant. For efficient boiler processes, water chemistry should have to be controlled effectively. Otherwise, water will carry corrosion and deposit impurities, which will further affect the smooth workability of the boiler. Boiler feed water should be a low controlled alkaline and it should content with very less dissolved Oxygen and very low presence of ions such as chlorine and Silica as it will be deposited on the turbine and effect the boiler efficiency. Different chemicals are used to remove hardness, silica and silt from boiler feed water. These boiler water treatment chemicals are of different types such as phosphonates, carboxylates/acrylic, chelating agents, sodium sulfite, hydrazine and others. Functions like corrosion inhibitor, scale inhibitor, oxygen scavenger and others are performed by these boiler water treatment chemicals. These boiler water treatment chemic...
