Process Engineering for Steam Boilers & Heating

Steam boilers are a vital engineering component found behind a range of industries, services and processes. Comprising a range of components including steam lines, traps, valves, condensation pipes and water storage tanks, these large pieces of engineering are a significant investment for many businesses.

Mismanagement can be both costly and inefficient. Therefore, a reliable, consistent, sustainable and efficient approach to the water treatment management of these complex boilers and their steam output is key. Not only for industry leaders. But for consumers, the economy and the environment as a whole.

Common steam and boiler problems that can affect efficiencies

If you are concerned about your steam boiler efficiencies, our team can help you identify and solve common water quality issues that can affect feed tanks, the boiler and condensate system. If not addressed, these issues can mean failure to comply with national and international standards put in place to prevent the dangers and increased costs associated with faulty steam boilers.

What to look out for:
Scaling
Scale deposits in steam boilers are often caused by insoluble minerals in the cooling water, including calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and magnesium silicate.

Corrosion
Commonly caused by the re-oxidation of the metals from which water and steam systems are constructed during exposure to water.

Boiler water carryover
Also known as priming, carryover refers to any solid, liquid or vaporous contaminant that is carried by the steam generated by the boiler.

Sludge
Salts and particles of matter in operational steam boilers can collect and congeal in feed water over time, creating a thick sludge.
