Water quality for boilers

Boiler water treatment is essential to ensure a long useful life free of operational issues, important repairs and accidents. The boiler water treatment consist in reducing the hardness, high level of minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium salts, of the water.

  • pH represents acidic and alkaline characteristics in water, thus its control is essential to prevent corrosion problems (low pH) and deposits (high pH)
  • Hardness in water mainly quantifies the amount of calcium and magnesium ions present in water, that produce deposits and inlays difficult to remove over the heat transference surfaces of a boiler
  • Oxygen present in water favors corrosion in the metallic components of a boiler. Pressure and temperature increase the speed in which corrosion is produced
