Undesirable impurities in boilers.

The best for boilers is pure water. All other dissolved or suspended impurities are undesirable. In this section we are presenting the most troubleshooting and the problems related to them.

 

Substance                                      Problem

 

Total Alkalinity                            a. Carry over                            

                                                            b. Scale formation                       

                                                            c. Caustic attack

 

Suspended Solids                       a. Sludge deposition

                                                b. Carry over.

 

Total dissolved Solids               a. Scale formation.

                                               b. Corrosion

                                               c. Carry over

 

Silicate                                     a. Silicate deposits.

                                                b. Deposition in steam and return lines

 

The maximum permissible ÍC is limited by the maximum permissible concentration of above impurities.
