Solution

Boilers have a high potential for corrosion and scaling issues, which can reduce factory productivity  and even cause significant financial losses for your company. Problems that can occur with boilers include:

Crusty boiler pipes                                                                          Boiler pipe burst

Crusty superheater pipe                                                                       Superheater pipe burst

Rusted boiler pipes

Without an appropriate treatment program, these issues can become a burden and risk for your factory operations.

Solutions for controlling corrosion and scaling:

1. Maintaining feed water quality
   It is important to limit the amount of impurities that enter the boiler
2. Internal chemical treatment program
   This includes the type and dosage of chemicals to be applied based on the boiler’s operating pressure
3. Blowdown based on the cycle of concentration
   It is crucial to maintain the concentration of dissolved solids and remove deposits resulting from chemical reactions in the boiler.

Eonchemicals offers a comprehensive protection program to control corrosion and scaling, which includes :

• • Free-of-charge service, consisting of:
    • Assessment
    • Operator training
