Chemical cleaning can play an important role in boiler maintenance. Proper chemical cleaning removes deposits from the inside of boiler tubes which improves the boiler heat rate, reduces tube failures and improves the stability of boiler chemistry. However, chemical cleaning is expensive. Vendor costs alone may total $50,000 to $150,000 Learn More
them back in the 2nd smoke tube pass. On the front of the boiler is an external reversing chamber, which again reverses the flue gases and leads them to the end of the boiler in the 3rd smoke tube pass. Hot water boilers are normally completely filled with water during operation. Steam boilers on the other hand are only 3/4 filled with water Learn More
Dec 31, 2009 · Caso4 is the worst scale forming agent in the water depositing as thin, hard gray scale at temperature above 140C or at densities above 96,000ppm. MgCl2 is soluble under normal boiler condition but can do some extent break down inside the boiler to form Mg(OH)2 and HCL –this can set up an active corrosion with in the boiler metal.Learn More
Silica, in amounts ranging from less than 1 to over 100 ppm, is found in all natural water supplies.In rain hail and snow, silica content range from 1 to 2.8 ppm. In the analyses of various surface and ground waters, silica content range from 1 to 107 ppm.This refers to soluble silica content and not to the silica that may be present in the suspended matter.Learn More

Boiler design has proven to be a very important consideration in the determination of magnesium additive levels. The addition of aluminum to magnesium-based additives reduces magnesium sulfate deposition. The greatest need for fuel additives to control deposition is in boilers previously used to fire other fuels, such as natural gas or coal.Learn More

Corrosion fatigue is influenced by boiler design, water chemistry, boiler water oxygen content, and boiler operation. A combination of these effects leads to the breakdown of the protective magnetite on the ID surface of the boiler tube. Loss of this protective scale exposes the tube to corrosion.Learn More

1.1.2.3 BOILER COMPONENTS. A fire tube boiler passes the hot combustion gases through the tubes, which are surrounded by the water to be converted to steam. A water tube boiler passes the hot combustion gases around the tubes, which contain the water to be converted to steam. In either type of boiler, the steam passes into aLearn More
The purer the feed water is, the weaker the driving mechanism to form scale. Scale-forming minerals that do enter the boiler can be rendered harmless by internal chemical treatment. A long-established technique is to detach the hardness cations, magnesium and calcium, from the scale forming minerals and to replace them with sodium ions.Learn More

Sep 14, 2020 · Large fire-tube boilers can be very sensitive to Delta T and must be tightly controlled to prevent pressure vessel uneven expansion and flexing, which can damage the seals at the tube sheets. The severity of the condition directly impacts the longevity of the heat exchanger, but the problem can often be rectified before it causes major damage Learn More
Best practices to avoid scale buildup are: Properly pre-heat; Chemically treat your feed water; Ensure daily bottom blowdown, surface blowdown and low water cutoff(s) blowdown; Water quality, along with specific boiler preventive maintenance (such as blowdown), is paramount in ensuring the health of your boiler regardless of the heat exchanger material.Learn More
