Steam Boiler Chemicals
Steam boilers are vessels to which heat is applied so that water is continuously converted in to steam. ‘Feed water’ is the water added to a boiler to replace that lost due to evaporation and blow down. Often steam is condensed and returned to the boiler as part of the feed water. The primary objectives in boiler design, operation and effective treatment include: efficiency in heat transfer, minimisation of energy usage, production of pure steam and safe, reliable operation. The problems encountered in steam-raising plant can be severe if scale formation and corrosion are allowed to occur. Problems can range from loss of efficiency and reduction of plant life, to at worst catastrophic failure. It is also necessary to prevent boiler water carryover, sludge deposition and foaming.
We produce a full range of chemicals for all aspects of steam boiler treatment at our manufacturing plant in Daventry UK. An effective treatment programme involves the addition of chemicals to the feed water, boiler water and steam in order to confer desirable attributes, or to react with traces of undesirable constituents which can remain after external treatment. Typically, oxygen scavengers, dispersants and alkalinity builders are used. Other products including condensate line corrosion inhibitors and antifoams may also be used. We also have a full range of products specifically formulated for use in high pressure boilers including, carbohydrazide, DEHA, polyamine and erythorbate based oxygen scavengers.
Our technical department is always available for advice on product selection and problem solving. Training courses can also be carried out for our UK based customers and overseas distributors
