Steam boiler water treatment guidelines.

Developing a steam boiler system water treatment program 4. Makeup water replaces blow down and dilutes the remaining boiler water. The only way to control the cycles of concentration in boilers is to remove blow down some of the highly concentrated boiler water. So the boiler chloride concentration must never exceed 100ppm.

The alkalinity of boiler water should be sufficiently high enough to protect shell and plates against acidic corrosion but not high enough to produce carryover. Values higher than this can lead to embrittlement of the steel. High boiler alkalinity which is in excess of 700 ppm should be avoided. Paul guyer p e r a.
