HARMS OF BOILER SCALE AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
Most of the scale in boilers comes from water hardness. This hardness will react in the thermal environment and create scale that adheres to the boiler walls. And this is one of the reasons why hard water is not used in boilers and boilers. If you want to use it, you have to soften the hard water before boiling it to get steam.
1. Harms of boiler scale if not cleaned
If not treated, descaled the boiler and continued to use it as it is in the long run will cause the following problems:
- Pipe breakage due to overheating. Due to the deposits (water that has not been treated well) entering the furnace from the furnace feed water are “concentrated” many times in the boiler. The deposits are thermal insulators, so localized overheating causes cracking.
- Reduced efficiency of steam generation. Due to the impurities produced limit the rate of evaporation of water. And when the water is restricted from evaporation, it contributes to superheating, boiling the thin film close to the furnace surface and promoting the deposition process.
- Stopping furnace for furnace repair affects production.
- Increase the cost of furnace repair, furnace maintenance: replace pipes clogged by deposits.
- Reduced boiler life.
- Corrosion due to untreated water quality, corrosion during boiler operation, corrosion caused by scale.
- Close the scale in the boiler. Due to the characteristics of the boiler to concentrate the solution, the feed water will be concentrated for a long time without being discharged, which will cause more and more scale inside the furnace.
- Steam contamination due to poor water quality and scale inside the furnace can affect product quality.
- Worries about an unsafe operating boiler can affect the psychology of employees at your business.
Therefore, effective treatment of feed water and furnace water is very important to prolong the maintenance and repair time as well as cleaning the furnace.
2. Solutions to deal with the harmful effects of scale on the boiler
Long Truong Vu Company provides effective solutions and methods to treat the harmful effects of scale on boilers.
To control the phenomenon of scaling in the boiler, customers need to pay attention to the following criteria.
2.1. Standard boiler feed water quality control
Controlling boiler feed water quality up to standard has contributed to improving boiler operation efficiency.
Table 1: Standard table of boiler feed water
Value Unit of Control Limits
The above criteria should be controlled within limits, especially paying attention to controlling the total hardness index (Ca2+, Mg2+) because if the hardness exceeds the control limit, it will be the main cause of scale formation in the boiler according to the requirements. The following reaction:
With water with high hardness ions, the treatment method here will use a water softening system (or Softener for short). After going through the softening system, the hardness will be controlled within the limit (< 3mg/l) to meet the furnace water standard.
2.2. Use maintenance chemicals
However, in order to ensure the boiler’s efficient operation, save operating costs and increase the life of the furnace, your company needs to treat water according to the above technology in combination with maintenance chemicals to inhibit the Formation against boiler scale. Because the treatment system outside the furnace only minimizes the content of scale causing criteria, but not completely. In terms of boiler maintenance chemicals, Long Truong Vu has chemicals with the following main functions:
- Chemical LTV110BA-CC (scale inhibitor) containing phosphate radicals will form a precipitate with calcium hardness in the form of mobile phosphate humus. Thanks to that, they have the effect of inhibiting the process of scale formation in the boiler. The reaction takes place as follows:
- Calcium Hydroxide Apatite exists in the form of suspension, easily soluble in furnace water and is taken out through the bottom discharge.
- Chemicals to inhibit scale: LTV 110 BA-CC pumped into the furnace according to the supply water line.
- This amount of maintenance chemicals is most effective when the water supply at your company has a hardness of <3 mg/l.
In addition to the above main function, the chemical solution carries an alkaline environment, which will raise the pH value to a controlled standard (furnace pH: 10.5 – 12).
2.3. Adhere to a reasonable blow-down regime
In order for the boiler to operate efficiently and safely, in addition to using standard boiler-grade water in combination with the use of maintenance chemicals, the problem of blowdown is extremely important. In order for customers to control the values in the furnace water and whether the frequency of blowdown is reasonable, Long Truong Vu introduces to customers a set of quick test equipment for 02 indicators of pH and TDS.
3. Chemicals against harmful effects of scale on boilers
Customers refer to chemical products against the harmful effects of scale on boilers, contact Long Truong Vu technical team for advice, survey and appropriate chemical use.
The specific flow and usage will depend on the extent of the boiler scale build-up.
