The word 'boiler', in everyday use, covers a wide range of equipment, from simple domestic hot water boilers to boilers housed within a power generation plant to convert fossil fuel to electricity. Generally, domestic hot water boilers do not produce steam and

2015/4/27 · Medium pressure boilers fall in the range of 150 to 650 psig. These are typically power generating plants where process steam is required. The makeup demand is greater in medium boiler plants due to steam consumption and loss. In either case, the water treatment requirements can be met with basic chemicals. However, in the specialty chemical

Water-tube boiler plant is much less tolerant of high TDS levels, and even less so as the pressure increases. This is due to a number of reasons, including: Water-tube boilers have a limited water surface area in the steam drum, relative to the evaporation rate.

In this case, we need a demineralizer or softener rated for a maximum flow rate of 28 gpm. It will be less depending upon how much condensate is returned. The next part of this question is what water quality is needed for the application. The steam pressure and steam boiler manufacturer will help determine what the water quality needs to be.

Filter the cooled boiler water sample to remove any suspended solids, which would otherwise give a false reading. Cool to 15.5°C. Add a few drops of a wetting agent to help prevent bubbles adhering to the hydrometer. Place the hydrometer in the sample and spin gently to …

In order to prevent foaming and carryover, the build-up of the boiler TDS needs to be controlled by removing concentrated boiler water via blowdown and replacing it with fresh feed water with a lower TDS. The guidance in BS2486 indicates that for most shell boilers that the TDS should be limited to a maximum 3500mg/l.

To develop this alkalinity, we need 25 ppm soda ash (as CaCO 3 ) in the feedwater (250 ppm boiler alkalinity divided by 10 concentrations), over and above the amount required to neutralize non-carbonate hardness in the feedwater.
