Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals

Chemicals with Service

Any treatment chemical is only as good as the service that accompanies it and we’ve been treating steam boilers for over 40 years. Our regional consultants look after hundreds of sites across the UK and are experts in the treatment of boilers and heating plants.

If you would like to arrange a free consultation with one of our experts to visit your site, we can come up with a bespoke treatment plan to increase your boiler plant efficiency, ensure the protection of your critical assets and save you money.

High Pressure Boilers

For high-pressure boiler applications volatile or zero solids oxygen scavengers are required. These chemicals are usually used where a thermal deaerator is fitted and don’t add to the TDS.

Corroban 22 is based on DEHA (Diethyl hydroxylamine) and provides not only oxygen scavenging and protection for the boiler system but is also steam volatile so helps to inhibit condensate line corrosion. – POA

Corroban 29 is based on Carbohydrazide which is a safe alternative to hydrazine. – POA

Alkalinity Builders

Depending on the natural feed water alkalinity, it is often necessary to add an alkalinity builder in order to establish the correct boiler water chemistry to prevent corrosion and scale formation.

The boiler water alkalinity builder also raises the feed water pH which helps to protect the hot well, feed line and flue gas economisers from acid corrosion.

Alkbuild – A liquid alkalinity builder (FDA approved). – Order Online

Corroban 30 – A combined alkalinity builder and polymer sludge conditioner (FDA approved). – Order Online

Polymer sludge conditioners

A polymer sludge conditioner should always be used to ensure that any hard water that enters the boiler doesn’t result in scale, by ensuring that the precipitated hardness is converted to a mobile sludge which can be removed by blowdown.

We supply a range of sludge conditioning chemicals for different applications. Most products can also be used at elevated dosage to safely clean up existing scale deposits over an extended period whilst the boiler is on-line.

Polyshield 200 – FDA approved sludge conditioner. – POA

Polyshield 300 – Dual polymer sludge conditioner for maximum performance – particularly good at removing old boiler scale. – POA

Polyshield 546 – High performance FDA approved sludge conditioner We incorporate the same polymer sludge conditioners in our multi-functional boiler water treatment chemicals. – POA

Boiler Phosphate Treatment Chemicals

Phosphate treatments are used in low pressure boilers to help prevent scale formation and in high pressure boilers as pH control agents. When used to prevent scale formation, they should be used in conjunction with a polymer sludge conditioner.

Corroban 64 – Phosphate/polymer blend (FDA) Corroban 65 – High polymer/phosphate blend (FDA approved). – POA

Corroban 66 – Phosphate/polymer blend (not FDA approved). – POA

Corroban 68 – Phosphate pH control agent for high pressure boilers. – POA

Waterguard P – Liquid phosphate treatment (no polymer, FDA approved). – POA

Multifunctional Boiler Water Chemicals

This range of chemicals are all in one boiler treatments which incorporate a boiler water oxygen scavenger, alkalinity builder, polymer sludge conditioner and, where appropriate, a phosphate treatment. They are matched to the feed water quality to ensure that the correct boiler water chemistry is achieved.

Corroban 24 – multifunctional sulphite, alkali, phosphate, polymer blend (FDA approved) – POA

Corroban 24M* – multifunctional sulphite, alkali, phosphate, polymer blend (FDA approved) *Safety Marker – POA

Corroban 28 – phosphate-free multifunctional alkaline, sulfite, sludge conditioner (FDA approved) – Order Online

Corroban AWT 185 – pH neutral multifunctional sodium sulfite, polymer, phosphate blend (FDA approved) – POA

Steam Condensate Line Treatment Chemicals

When steam condenses, it can absorb oxygen and carbon dioxide which can cause rapid and costly corrosion of the condensate return lines.

In order to control this corrosion, steam-volatile amines can be used to neutralise the acidity or form a protective film on the pipework.

Amine X – concentrated single neutralising amine (FDA approved for some food applications). – POA

Amine C20 – low cost neutralising amine (FDA approved for some food applications). – POA

Amine N – blend of 3 neutralising amines with different distribution ratios, to protect the nearest and furthest parts of the steam lines. – POA

Amine T – combined neutralising and filming amine. – POA

Boiler Descaling Service

Limescale and other mineral deposits form when steam boilers and heating and cooling systems are operated with hard water, resulting in a loss of energy and heat transfer efficiency. In the case of a steam boiler, a scale build up can result in dangerous overheating and a risk of failure and even explosion.

Our descaling and boiler acid cleaning service uses a range of inhibited cleaning acids such as hydrochloric and sulphamic acid which are carefully matched to the system metallurgy and the nature of the scale.
