Two major types of boiler water treatment are internal water treatment and external water treatment.
Boiler feed water treatment methods.
Depending on the quality of water it may be subjected to one or more treatments like chemical precipitation lime soda softening ion exchange deaeration and reverse osmosis.
The water is then subjected to other treatments to make it suitable for the boiler.
3 concentration control of boiler water blow down is done to control the concentration of boiler water and to discharge sludge impurities contained in the feed water and solids in the chemicals added.
Transients the addition of fresh cold make up water to the system and the method used to maintain the boiling point in the da to maintain efficiency.
The following steps are associated in external boiler feed water treatment.
Sodium chloride dealkalization uses a strong anion exchange resin to replace bicarbonate sulfate and nitrate for chloride anions.
Boiler water treatment.
The treatment and conditioning of boiler feed water must satisfy three main objectives.
Preheat boiler feed atmospheric feed water tank 195 205 f 0 1 1 ppm oxygen.
After the softening process some boiler feed water treatment systems will utilize dealkalization to reduce alkalinity ph an impurity in boiler feed water that can cause foaming corrosion and embrittlement.
Demineralization to remove dissolved minerals salts or acids.
Internal water treatment boiler internal treatment is carried out by adding chemicals to the boiler to prevent the formation of scale by converting the scale forming compounds to free flowing sludge which can be removed by taking blowdown.
Production of high quality steam.
