Boiler Water Treatment

Boiler Water Treatment

Operators Unlimited recommends a water treatment program for all boilers. Water quality is important and is necessary for proper boiler operations. An improperly treated feedwater system can result in scaling of boiler internals, safety equipment and secondary piping (condensate systems and additional steam piping).

Boilers are used to produce steam. The generation part of a steam system uses a boiler to add energy to a feed water supply to generate steam. The energy is released from the combustion of fossil fuels or from process waste heat.

As customers strive for high purity feed water, Operators Unlimited works with our customers to conduct lab studies and design chemical feed systems to prevent corrosion, scaling and protect your assets.

One common issue caused by corrosion and scaling are pinhole links in the economizer. Installed in the exhaust stream of the boiler, the economizer recovers waste heat and works to transfer this heat to the desired system area. Contaminants can buildup on the inside of the economizer and create pinhole leaks that minimize the effectiveness of this energy saving piece of equipment.

No matter the industry and your water makeup, Operators Unlimited is an experienced, trusted resource for boiler water preparation, conditioning and equipment.
