Veolia provides a range of boiler water chemicals designed to improve the efficiency, reliability, and lifespan of boiler systems. These chemicals are used to treat boiler water in industrial and commercial systems, helping to prevent scale formation, corrosion, and other issues that can reduce boiler performance.
Common Veolia Boiler Water Chemicals:
- Oxygen Scavengers: These chemicals remove dissolved oxygen from boiler feedwater, which can cause corrosion in the boiler system. Common oxygen scavengers include sulfite, hydrazine, and DEHA (diethylhydroxylamine).
- Scale Inhibitors: These are used to prevent the formation of scale, which is a hard, mineral deposit that can accumulate on the heat exchange surfaces of boilers, reducing efficiency. Phosphates and polymers are typical scale inhibitors.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: These chemicals protect the boiler and condensate lines from corrosion by forming a protective film on the metal surfaces. Examples include amines and neutralizing amines.
- Alkalinity Builders: These chemicals are added to maintain the pH level of the boiler water, ensuring it remains within the optimal range to prevent corrosion and scale formation.
- Condensate Treatment: These chemicals protect the condensate system from corrosion by neutralizing acidic conditions in the return lines. This is often done with amines, which are volatile and can travel with the steam.
- Antifoams/Defoamers: These chemicals control or eliminate foam in the boiler, which can lead to water carryover with the steam, affecting the quality and efficiency of the steam.
Benefits:
- Improved Efficiency: Proper chemical treatment ensures the boiler operates at peak efficiency, saving on energy costs.
- Extended Equipment Life: By preventing scale and corrosion, boiler chemicals can significantly extend the life of the equipment.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Proper chemical treatment reduces the frequency of maintenance and repairs.
