If makeup is demineralized water at 4.14 MPa (600 psig) to 6.89 MPa (1000 psig), boiler water alkalinity should be that in table for 6.90-10.34 MPa (1001-1500 psig) range.
Read MoreBoiler water treatment; Industrial boilers and steam raising plant are used extensively in many commercial, manufacturing and industrial processes. To ensure that such boiler systems are correctly maintained and operate at optimum efficiency it is essential that the correct boiler water conditions are maintained at all times.

In our example, the feedwater M alkalinity decreased from 55 ppm (43 ppm carbon dioxide potential) with sodium softening to 3 ppm (2.4 ppm carbon dioxide potential) with reverse osmosis.

Maximum TDS allowed in the boiler in ppm For example: To keep a steam boiler producing 4000 kg/hr of steam below 3500 ppm TDS when fed from a feed tank having a TDS of 80ppm, it will need to blowdown at least; F 80 ppm 80 × 4000 = 93.6 kg/hr S 4000 kg/hr 3500 − 80 B 3500 ppm Typical
Read MoreSteam boiler low alkalinity. Alkalinity in the boiler, as well as minimising corrosion, also acts as a scale salts precipitant. As an example caustic alkalinity in the boiler will precipitate magnesium salts to form a mobile sludge that can be easily removed by blowdown, e.g. MgCl 2 + 2NaOH >> Mg (OH) 2 + 2NaCl.
Read MoreConventional shell boilers are normally operated with the TDS in the range of 2 000 ppm for very small boilers, and up to 3 500 ppm for larger boilers, provided the: Boiler is operating near to its design pressure. Steam load conditions are not too severe. Other boiler water conditions are correctly controlled.
Read MoreIt's essential that operators monitor boiler water chemistry on a regular basis, testing the condensate for total dissolved solids, alkalinity, silica and organic contamination. These parameters should be kept within the manufacturers recommendations or those identified in BS 2486:1997 – Recommendations for treatment of water for steam boilers and water heaters.
