Industrial boilers are used across a wide range of markets for differing applications. The steam that they generate is an essential component of processes across pharmaceutical, healthcare, power, manufacturing and food & beverage industries. Therefore, industrial boiler water treatment is necessary to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.

What are the problems?

A supply of water is required to generate steam inside an industrial boiler but the feedwater used is often filled with impurities. These impurities can cause a host of issues that begin with inefficiency and end with severe damage and downtime. These include:

Scaling - This is where dissolved minerals in the feedwater precipitate out and form deposits on the metal surfaces, reducing the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler and requiring more energy to boil the water.

Corrosion - This occurs when the metal surfaces in the boiler are exposed to water and oxygen, which can cause rust and eventually crack and disintegrate the boiler’s metal.

Foaming - Solids in the boiler tank’s water can float to the top and lead to the carryover of minerals and chemicals into the steam, which can cause damage to downstream equipment and processes.
