Boilers in the geothermal power generation industry are an additional component to generate electricity. Some of the problems that are often found and recommended solutions are as follows.

1. Problem: pH Stabilization Issues

Maintaining the pH stability of a boiler around the optimal point is crucial. Failure to do so can lead to problems such as scaling and corrosion, which ultimately reduce the boiler’s effectiveness.

Solution: pH Adjuster

Eonchemicals provides a pH adjuster solution for boilers that serves to:

Features and Benefits of pH Adjuster

• Corrosion Control
  Maintains water pH within the optimal range to prevent corrosion of pipes and boiler components.
• Scale Prevention
  Prevents scale formation by maintaining the chemical balance of the water, which can otherwise damage boiler efficiency.
• Extends Boiler Life
  Reduces damage from corrosion and scale, thereby extending the boiler’s lifespan.
• Improves Steam Quality
  Produces better quality steam free from contamination, essential for applications requiring clean steam.

Application Method

Please contact our experts to get recommendations and the proper application method tailored to your current boiler conditions.

2. Problem: Hardened Scale in the Boiler

Scale in the boiler can reduce thermal efficiency, leading to increased fuel consumption. Longer heating times also reduce steam production capacity.

Other issues include increased pressure and temperature, which can accelerate damage to tubes and components. Downtime can result in increased losses.

Solution: Scale Remover

The recommended solution is EonDescaler B 2550, which acts as a scale remover to eliminate scale in boilers. This product can also function as a rust remover to clean rust from metal surfaces. EonDescaler B 2550 is an effective and safe solution for cleaning scale and rust, ensuring the efficiency and longevity of boiler equipment.

Features and Benefits

• Made from organic acid with a corrosion inhibitor to prevent damage to metal surfaces.
• Can be used directly without shutting down the boiler.
• Easily neutralized with a base to adjust pH.

3. Problem: Corrosion in Pipes

Corrosion damages pipe structures, reducing their strength and durability. Corroded pipes are more prone to leaks, reducing efficiency and increasing the risk of accidents. Damage to pipes can reduce heat transfer efficiency, increasing fuel consumption. Repairing and replacing corroded pipes increases maintenance costs.

One cause of corrosion is the oxygen content in boiler feedwater exceeding acceptable limits.

Solution: Oxygen Scavenger, Corrosion Inhibitor

A boiler oxygen scavenger is a chemical that reduces the dissolved oxygen content in water. By keeping oxygen levels below acceptable limits, the risk of corrosion in the boiler can be avoided.

Features and Benefits of Boiler Oxygen Scavenger

• Prevents Corrosion
  Oxygen in water can cause corrosion in pipes and boiler components. Oxygen scavengers reduce the concentration of oxygen, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion in the metal components of the boiler system.
• Extends Equipment Life
  By reducing corrosion, the use of oxygen scavengers can extend the life of pipes, tanks, and other components in the boiler system.
• Improves Efficiency
  Corrosion can reduce heat transfer efficiency in the boiler. By reducing the risk of corrosion, oxygen scavengers help maintain the operational efficiency of the boiler.
• Reduces Maintenance Costs
  By minimizing damage from corrosion, the use of oxygen scavengers can reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs.
• Enhances Operational Safety
  Severe corrosion can cause leaks or damage that threaten the operational safety of the boiler. Oxygen scavengers help prevent this risk.
