Do You Want To Know How To Generate Economical Savings For Your Boiling System?

Executive Summary : In even a relatively small country like the UK, raw water quality varies considerably from region to region. If these variations are not catered for properly, organisations will see a dramatic impact on the efficacy of their steam system operations. The type and level of impurities in water supplies from different utilities needs to be analysed carefully and considerable expertise needs to be applied to create the most effective water treatment regime for a particular system and its processes. The advantages of applying a proper water treatment programme are considerable, not only in protecting the boiler and wider steam system from corrosion and potentially high maintenance costs, but also improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, maximizing productivity, minimizing the use of treatment chemicals and lowering the total cost ownership of plant. This white paper reviews the causes and types of impurities found in water, the impact they can have on steam systems and how they can be controlled through softening technologies, and chemical treatment or reverse osmosis.
