Boiler Pretreatment Applications
We offer Boiler Pretreatment Systems for the following applications.
Large, High Recovery Boilers |

Where a condensate return system is used, the boiler
feed water will be a mixture of incoming make-up water and condensed
steam returning to
the boiler. This mixing will take place in the condensate return tank. The flow
rate of the softener should be sized between the evaporation rate of the boiler
and the pumping rate from the condensate tank, allowing
for a 10 to 15% blow-down. When a boiler is first brought on line,
usually in early morning hours, the demand for steam may be great and
the
return of condensate very low. This is referred to as “cold start-up”.
For this reason the minimum flow rate should equal the maximum evaporation |
Small , Medium Recovery Boilers |

Feeding unsoftened water to small and medium size boilers
causes the formation of the crystalline precipitant Calcium Carbonate
(CaCO3) and Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3) on the boiler tubes.
The precipitant forms an insulation causing higher fuel consumption.
By softening, this
changes the composition of precipitants to sodium compounds that are
easy to blow-down and do not reduce heat transfer.
A properly functioning steam boiler will evaporate four gallons of
water per hour for each rated horsepower. Water will be fed to a boiler,
