boiler water treatment
WTS chemical products for treatment of internal water in steam generators includes corrosion and scale inhibitors, chelating agents and phosphates, deposit control agents, oxygen scavengers, antifoams, cleaning agents and closed system inhibitors. These products are formulated for all ranges of operating pressures and temperatures and, depending on the specific application, can be fed on an intermittent or continuous basis to the feed pump suction, de-aerating heater storage compartment, or directly to the steam generator shell or drum. Water Treatment Services chemical treatment maintains steam generator heat transfer surfaces, steam condensate piping, etc., virtually free of adherent deposits and protected against dissolved gas induced corrosion
Corrosion Inhibitors
To provide complete protection against corrosion in steam condensate systems, Water Treatment Services has developed both filming and neutralizing corrosion inhibitors. When added to feedwater, filming corrosion inhibitors volatize with the steam and are carried to all parts of the system where they form a non-wettable, protective film on all metal surfaces. This film prevents dissolved oxygen and/or carbon dioxide corrosion by acting as a waterproof barrier between metal and condensate Neutralizing inhibitors also volatize and travel with the steam. When condensation occurs, they neutralize the C02 present elevating the pH of the condensate. In essence, filming inhibitors are used to treat the metal in the system while neutralizing inhibitors treat the water flowing through it.
Defoamers
Water Treatment Services maintains a complete line of products to control foaming in all aqueous systems.
Closed System Treatment
To prevent corrosive attack by dissolved Oxygen and carbon dioxide in low-makeup dosed cooling and heating systems. Water Treatment Services markets a series of non-chromate based inhibitors. These products prevent corrosion of ferrous and nonferrous metals and their alloys.
Chelating Agents
Water Treatment Services maintains a series of liquid formulations of organic sequestering agents and Polymeric sludge conditioners designed to keep steam-generating equipment clean and operating at peak efficiency. Water Treatment Services has defined the complex chemical Interrelationships of water chemistry, treatment chemistry and operating conditions to enable us to specify the exact treatment that will give optimum results in your system. Various blended formulations are available to match individual system requirements and provide optimum cost performance.
Oxygen Scavengers
Both solids and non-solids varieties, these products prevent oxygen-induced corrosion in steam generating system equipment (boilers, economizers, pumps and feedwater lines), by chemically removing the last traces of oxygen from the feedwater. Oxygen scavengers will also reduce certain types of turbine deposits and provide residual effectiveness for protecting equipment during wet standby. WTS has suitable products for boilers of all pressures and duty.
Deposit Control Agents
Specially blended polymers fluidize precipitates of calcium, magnesium and other metal oxides keeping them non-adherent and free flowing, allowing for easy removal via normal system blowdown.
Phosphates
When added to boiler feedwater in proper concentrations, these products prevent calcium scale by precipitation of the preferred hydroxyapatite. A polymeric sludge conditioner is included in the blend to fluidize the precipitate and make it non-adherent.
Antifoams
Antifoams cause rapid coalescence and collapse of steam bubbles in boilers, thus minimizing foam and reducing carryover of contaminants into the steam. Carryover reduction prevents deposits, which can result in superheater tube failures, sticking valves, loss of turbine capacity, plugging of traps and lines, and process interferences. Smoother boiling also improves circulation to minimize waterside accumulations.
Cleaners
Water Treatment Services has products available to clean surfaces of newly erected and field repaired boilers and other industrial equipment fouled by oil, grease and other debris.
