Antiscalant And Boiler Chemicals

Boiler water treatment chemicals are used to maintain the quality of water in steam boilers, preventing corrosion, scale formation, and fouling. Common chemicals include oxygen scavengers (e.g., sodium bisulfite) to eliminate dissolved oxygen, preventing corrosion; scale inhibitors (e.g., phosphates, polyphosphates) to prevent mineral buildup; and pH adjusters (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to maintain proper alkalinity. Dispersants and antifoams are also used to reduce particulate deposition and foam formation. These treatments enhance boiler efficiency, extend equipment life, and ensure safe and reliable operation by maintaining optimal water chemistry.
