3.4.3.2 Soft scale is usually found in hot water heating/supply boilers and systems. It has the appearance of thick black or brown sludge and forms in or around the boiler tubes, on the boiler shell, and throughout the heating system. 3.4.4 Scale can be removed by
Read MoreBoiler feed water quality is limited owing to problems of (1) scaling, (2) corrosion, and (3) foaming. In order to avoid these problems, the quality guidelines shown in Table IV have been adopted. Data in Table IV show a major difference between cooling water and boiler feed water quality constraints, in that boiler feed water has a strong relationship between water quality and the pressure of

Read MoreSince water impurities cause boiler problems, careful consideration must be given to the quality of the water used for generating steam. The composition of boiler feed water must be such that the impurities in it can be concentrated a reasonable number of times inside the boiler, without exceeding the tolerance limits of the particular boiler design.

Read MoreTo maintain boiler integrity and performance and to provide steam of suitable turbine or process purity, boiler feedwater must be purified and chemically conditioned. The amount and nature of feedwater impurities that can be accommodated depend on boiler operating pressure, boiler design, steam purity requirements, type of boiler water internal treatment, blowdown rate, and whether the

Read MoreEach boiler system has its challenges as well as production and quality requirements that must be taken into account when treating the water. The water treatment is made up of both water purification – which, depending on the boiler system, can be anything from softening to complete desalination of the water – and chemical treatment that protect the entire system against corrosion and
