TREATMENT OF BOILER FEED WATER
Three key goals must be met while treating and conditioning boiler feed water: Heat exchange is ongoing. Corrosion resistance High-quality steam production The reduction or removal of pollutants from water outside the boiler is known as external treatment. When the amount of one or more of the feed water pollutants is too high for the boiler system to tolerate, external treatment is usually used. External treatment (softening, evaporation, deaeration, membrane contractors, and so on) can be used to tailor manufacture feed-water for a certain system. The conditioning of pollutants within the boiler system is known as internal treatment. The reactions take place in either the feed lines or the boiler itself. Internal treatment can be used in conjunction with or instead of external treatment. Its job is to react properly with feed water hardness, condition sludge, scavenge oxygen, and keep boiler water foaming at bay. Treatment from the outside Make-up water or fe...
