Water Treatment and Softening Systems for Steam Boilers

In a steam boiler, water is converted into steam. The steam is then directed through the condensate network to the points of use for heating, humidification, and disinfection. Depending on the application, part of the condensate returns. The used water can cause significant issues in a degasser, the boiler, and the condensate network. It is well known that lime deposits unwantedly on the tube bundles of the steam boiler, leading to heat loss. A high concentration of salts in the water can cause excessive blowdown of boiler water. Dissolved oxygen and (bound) carbonic acid in the water can lead to significant corrosion on iron in the degasser, steam boiler, and condensate network.

Wairtec provides equipment and chemicals to prevent: Lime deposits in (pre-)boiler sections, Removal of salts (minerals), Silicate deposition in the boiler section, Oxygen and carbonic acid corrosion in the pre-boiler, boiler, and after-boiler system.
