Top 10 for Boiler Water Treatment

Western Regional Boiler Association

#11

Ultra Low Range Hardness Testing

3

Continued Increase in Boiler Feedwater Hardness

275 PPB (0.275 PPM) Average hardness

Nexguard dosage recommendation: 9.5 PPM

#10

Temperature Correction for “High Purity” pH Testing

5

Condensate Testing

Dedicate IRON test glassware. False high iron. Expect <0.025 ppm

Do not adjust sample flow

Replace pH meter as required, once/6 months

Adjust for temperature

# 9

1. Leaking

blowdown valve

2. Manual

blowdowns are too

long/often

3. Decrease

surface blowdown

setting

4. Reduced steam

production

5. Change in

feedwater quality

1. Conduct manual

blowdown daily

2. Increase surface

blowdown setting

3. Change in

feedwater quality

4. Increased steam

production

Two New Technologies:

3D TRASAR Technology for Boilers™

Measures and controls scale inhibitor chemistry

Nalco Corrosion Stress Monitor™

Measures and controls pre-boiler corrosion environment

Stimson Start-up

Feedwater (DA) Temp vs. ORP

2. Corrosive feedwater - High ORP

1. Low DA temp - Inadequate Pegging Steam

High O2 >100 ppb

3. Oxygen Scavenger INCREASED

4. DA Pegging Steam ON, Set Point

increased to 6 psi

5. At-Temp ORP in range, O2 <20 ppb

New Boiler Automation Technology

Automatically responds

Maintain optimum treatment levels

Directly measures

Possible root cause: Low inventory, blocked feed

Description: Relay has been under failsafe condition for a while. But even with30% relay duty concentration

is still dropping. This indicates either the product container may be empty or a leak or blockage may exist in

the feed line. Prior to this during normal operation (auto) concentration decreased less in 1400 minutes

indicating reduced feed rate (conductivity is not dropping that much). Please check the above issues.
