The boiler receives the feed water, which consists of varying proportion of recovered condensed water (return water) and fresh water, which has been purified in varying degrees (make up water). The make-up water is usually natural water either in its raw state, or treated by some process before use.
Read MoreBoiler feed water Galvanic corrosion occurs when a metal or alloy is electrically coupled to a different metal alloy. The most common type of galvanic corrosion in a boiler system is caused by the contact of dissimilar metals, such as iron and copper.
Read MoreBoiler feed water systems using demineralized or evaporated make up or pure condensate may be protected from caustic attack through coordinated phosphate/pH control. Phosphate buffers the boiler water, reducing the chance of large pH changes due to the development of high caustic concentrations.
Read MoreCorrosion in the boiler proper generally occurs when the boiler water alkalinity is low or when the metal is exposed to oxygen bearing water either during operation or idle periods. High temperatures and stresses in the boiler metal tend to accelerate the corrosive mechanisms.
Read Morefeed water. fBoiler Water Treatment. • Principal objects of boiler feed water Treatment: • Prevention of scale formation by using distilled water or by. precipitating all scale forming salts into the form of a non-adherent. sludge. • Prevention of corrosion in the boiler and in the feed system by.
Read More17/7/2021 · Acidic corrosion is caused due to the low pH of the makeup feed water and leads to assault on the metal surface of the boiler. Contamination of the boiler system causes feed water to become acidic. Acidic Corrosion is also caused due to chemical cleaning operations like excess exposure of metal to the cleaning agents and overheating of such solutions.
Read MoreIn boiler systems, corrosion resulting from carbon dioxide is most often encountered in the condensate system. Because feed water deaeration normally removes carbon dioxide from the boiler feed water, the presence of the gas in condensate is typically due to carbonate and bicarbonate decomposition under boiler conditions.
Read More21/1/2020 · Use a boiler logbook. Regularly tracking the normal operation of your boiler room equipment makes it easy to spot when something critical changes. Deaerator pressure or feed-tank temperature changes will give advance warning of a more expensive corrosion problem. pH changes could indicate problems with water treatment or process contamination.
Read MoreThe main purpose of boiler and feed water treatment is to have a scale free and corrosion free boiler internals. To prevent corrosion the boiler tubes needed to be passivated. Corrosion occurs when such passivated layer of magnetite becomes unstable or when chemicals are …
Read MoreCorrosion may occur in the feed-water system as a result of low pH water and the presence of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide. Starting form these figures, and allowing the amount that can be blown down, the permitted concentration in the make-up water is thus defined.

Read More19/11/2020 · Corrosion can also happen in a boiler when the pH of the water is too high or too low. Caustic corrosive damage occurs when a concentrated caustic agent dissolves and creates high pH. Acidic corrosion develops when the boiler water pH is too low. Improperly managed cleaning chemicals can also lead to acidic corrosion.

Read MoreBoiler feedwater is an essential part of boiler operations. The feed water is put into the steam drum from a feed pump. In the steam drum the feed water is then turned into steam from the heat. After the steam is used it is then dumped to the main condenser. From the condenser it is then pumped to the deaerated feed tank. From this tank it

Read MoreThe treatment and conditioning of boiler feed water must satisfy three main objectives: Continuous heat exchange. Corrosion protection. Production of high quality steam. External treatment is the reduction or removal of impurities from water outside the boiler. In general, external treatment is used when the amount of one or more of the feed
