Solution

Scale buildup can lead to decreased boiler efficiency. Without proper scale control solutions, pipe failures due to overheating can occur. When boiler efficiency drops, the impact felt is increased fuel consumption to meet steam targets.

Many palm oil mills use chemical scale inhibitors to minimize the potential for boiler scale. However, this method is largely ineffective due to the high chemical consumption required. This is because the amount of feedwater entering the boiler is substantial, necessitating a large quantity of chemicals.

Solution

To address this problem, Eonchemicals offers a comprehensive and integrated solution in the form of a scale inhibitor chemical treatment program along with regular monitoring (free of charge).

To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of this program, Eonchemicals maximizes feedwater quality through a program to improve the efficiency of resin softeners, demineralization plants, and reverse osmosis systems. We also provide training on feedwater treatment unit maintenance and chemical dosage optimization to help you control boiler scale, ensuring maximum boiler efficiency with lower total costs.

With Eonchemicals, you will receive:

• A guarantee that your boiler will be free from issues
• Monthly routine monitoring
• Diagnosis of potential problems based on water analysis results
• RecommendationsNecessary training sessions
• Problem-solving in case issues arise
• Supervision of corrective actions

Success Story

One palm oil company with a boiler capacity of 30 tons/hour required water treatment costs of Rp 1,256 /m3, with feedwater quality below standards (hardness exceeding the limit).

Eonchemicals identified the issues based on daily laboratory water analysis data. Subsequently, we provided solutions including :

• Technical services such as assessment, monitoring, operator training, and water analysis
• Optimum dosage settings

RESULTS

The implemented solution reduced water treatment costs to Rp 753 /m3, achieved good and stable feedwater quality, and made chemical usage more efficient. The scale problem was effectively addressed.

Eonchemicals has extensive experience in improving feedwater quality programs to achieve efficient chemical costs. With a skilled research & development (R&D) team and technical capabilities, we are committed to providing the best solutions and services to meet your needs in the field.
