Boiler water treatment is critical to ensuring that the machinery lasts as long as possible. When impurities are present in the boiler water, they can foul the system and cause long-term damage, reducing the life of the equipment and reducing its efficacy, resulting in higher bills for the same performance. In addition, scaling is caused by dissolved salts in the water, and other contaminants and products in the water will attack the machinery if not removed by external or internal boiler treatment.
Impurities and other problems will accumulate in boilers as they circulate water.
These issues can cause a breakdown, resulting in significant time and financial losses. To avoid this, ensure that your boiler’s water is correctly treating.
WHY IS BOILER TREATMENT NECESSARY?
Boiler Corrosion:
There are numerous common problems that can arise if the water in your boiler system is not properly treated. Allowing these issues to accumulate will inevitably result in a breakdown. Water contains oxygen, which causes thinning and pitting of metal pipes in boilers. This can interfere with the boiler’s heat transfer abilities and lead to water contamination. Suitable boiler water treatments will remove oxygen from the water and help to prevent corrosion.
Impurities:
Water quality is an essential aspect of proper boiler operation. A boiler that has too many contaminants in its water will eventually fail because it can no longer function properly. However, impurities will be broken down, and full function will be restored with proper treatment.
Foaming:
A high concentration of solids in the water causes frothing or foaming on the surface. When this water evaporates as steam, it can deposit in valves, heat exchangers, turbines, and superheaters, among other places as well as strip away the magnetic layer in steam lines. This can lead to general corrosion and decreased system performance. Treatment can reduce the occurrence of foaming. This can help to avoid these issues.
Reduce suspended solids:
corrosion, scaling, and also impurities in water are all causes of suspended solids to accumulate, which can cause a variety of problems within the boiler. Hard water: Hard water can form inside the boiler and eventually lead to the formation of scale deposits, resulting in impurities in the water. Water softening treatment is mainly one of the most common and essential aspects of boiler maintenance. If all these issues are not properly treated, they can cost you thousands of dollars in repair costs as well as leave your facility without hot water. It’s an annoyance if it’s a residential or commercial property, but it’s a nightmare if it’s a hotel or hospital, for example.

Bottom Line
Boiler water quality has long been an essential consideration in boiler operation. Water quality requirements become more stringent as power plant operating pressures rise. The requirements are stringent because the current units operate at supercritical pressures. Continuous improvements and changes in water quality management methods, understanding corrosion mechanisms and developing new chemicals have resulted in more cost-effective and efficient water regime management.
