HOW TO TREAT BOILER SCALE EFFECTIVELY?

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.

Steps to treat boiler scale effectively

New boiler cleaning process

Step 1: Open the flange at the maintenance chemical filling position, and isolate the manifolds.
Step 2: Fill the boiler with soft water to the working position.
Step 3: Fill the boiler with chemicals for the first time. The dose of chemicals used depends on the volume of the boiler.
Step 4: After adding chemicals to close the flanges, the boiler can be heated to a pressure equal to half the working pressure. Continue to increase and decrease the pressure for 24 hours. After 3 hours, blow the bottom once, 2 -5 seconds each time.
Step 5: Drain all water and chemicals out of the boiler after 24 hours of circulation.
Step 6: After cleaning the furnace, fill the boiler with soft water and add maintenance chemicals LTV BA directly into the boiler. The chemical dosage depends on the volume of the boiler.
Step 7: The boiler can be burned and put into use immediately after adding maintenance chemicals. Or store wet until put into use.

Old boiler cleaning process

Step 1: Drain the old water, fill the boiler with clean water to cool the furnace.
Step 2: Install the system of filling and circulating the boiler descaling agent.
Step 3: Insert the inhibitor chemical into the boiler, circulate it and soak it overnight
Step 4: Add bleach to the boiler. Run the cycle, check the concentration of detergent until it reaches a stable level. Then drain, fill the boiler with clean water
Step 5: Add neutralizing chemicals to the boiler, circulate and soak overnight.
Step 6: Drain all chemicals in the boiler out, pump clean water into the boiler to rinse continuously to expel the softened scale. Wash the boiler until the outlet water pH is equivalent to the input water pH, then stop.
Step 7: Clean the area, reinstall the flange and test the boiler. Finish the cleaning process of boiler scale . The time it takes to do all the above steps is 3 days.

We use 03 chemicals with 03 features to ensure effective removal of boiler scale and still ensure boiler safety. Some manufacturing companies find it difficult to arrange a long boiler downtime, we can shorten the time to 02 days (36 – 48 hours) It is not possible to do boiler cleaning in a shorter time, because it will not ensure the effective removal of scale and do not follow the control process correctly, which will cause corrosion of the customer’s boiler.

Effective descaling treatment process

Carry out the cleaning process of boiler scale effectively , according to the following procedures:

Isolation of automatic valves, measuring devices (pressure gauges, transducers, …). Remove the necessary flange.
Install a bleaching system. Pump clean water into the equipment, run the circulation to check the leakage of the chemical recirculation system.
Inject corrosion inhibitor LTV CL2482 into the system, circulating for 1-2 hours.
Fill the system with LTV CL32 bleach, circulating for 4-5 hours depending on the concentration of bleach (every 30 minutes). Add chemical
LTV CL32 (if necessary) to maintain the concentration of bleach LTV CL32 from 2-5%.
Continue to cycle the bleach until the bleach concentration remains unchanged. This is an important stage to determine the chemical has enough time to react with scale but not cause equipment corrosion, decisive for easy cleaning of scale in the next stage.
Recover bleach from the system into storage tanks for processing.
Fill the system with clean water and run the circulation to flush the remaining part of the detergent out of the system. System flushing is performed several times until the pH, TDS of feed water and pH, TDS of water discharged in the system are equivalent (range of no more than 0.5).
Fill LTV CN50 with neutralizing chemical and run it around for about 2-3 hours. Neutralizing chemicals can be soaked overnight.
Discard the neutralizing chemical LTV CN50 out and rinse with clean water.
Use a pressurized water jet to mechanically clean and remove scale in the system.
System flushing is performed several times until the pH, TDS of feed water and pH, TDS of water in the system are equal (range of no more than 0.5).
Check and evaluate the level of residue that has been removed after cleaning.
Connect the system, return to the original state.
Fill in fresh water and do a full check before turning the system back on.
System acceptance.

The above is the procedure for descaling (not including silicate form), the implementation depends on the condition of the system at the customer.

Causes of boiler scale

The first cause of scale build-up on the boiler wall is poor boiler cleaning , not treating the scale regularly, leading to scale sticking to the boiler wall.

In addition, boiler scale is caused by impurities that are directly precipitated in the water and adhered to the boiler wall or by the suspended substances in the water settling on the wall and surface of the boiler. The evaporation in the boiler will make the scale more sticky and concentrated.

The deposits enter the furnace from the furnace feedwater (which is a mixture of source water and condensate) and are “concentrated” several times in the boiler. As a result, deposition of such substances occurs on the inner surface of the furnace, especially at places of strong heat exchange. The deposits are thermal insulators, so localized overheating causes cracking. These substances also 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.

The amount of impurities inside the boiler depends on many factors, but mainly due to 2 main factors as follows:

– Impurities in boiler feed water: The worse the feed water, the higher the percentage of impurities. The basic criteria in the water causing scale include: Hardness, TDS, Silica, minerals.

Blow-down of the boiler: Regular blow-down of the boiler will partly remove impurities in the boiler. However, due to objective factors, we cannot continuously blow down the boiler: Continuous operation, boiler under pressure, workers do not have time to blow down, do not know how much discharge is enough.

Measures to treat boiler scale effectively

In order to limit the formation of scale in the boiler in order to improve the operating efficiency of the furnace, the following issues should be taken care of:

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

standard indicators of boiler feed water — Standard indicators of boiler feed water

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. following reactions:

causes of boiler scale — Causes of boiler scale

For water with high hardness ions, the treatment method here will be using a water softening system (or Softener for short). After passing through the softening system, the hardness will be controlled within limits. (< 3mg/l) to meet furnace water standards.

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 scale formation in the boiler. 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).

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.
