• Water Analysis: The first step in steam boiler water treatment is to analyse the water to determine its composition. This analysis helps in understanding the levels of impurities, hardness, pH, alkalinity, and other factors that can affect the boiler system.
• Chemical Treatment: Chemical additives are used to treat boiler water. These chemicals include corrosion inhibitors, scale dispersants, oxygen scavengers, and pH adjusters. The specific chemicals and their dosages depend on the water quality and the type of boiler system.
• Scale and Corrosion Control: Scale formation on boiler surfaces can decrease heat transfer efficiency. Corrosion can weaken the boiler structure. FlowAqua will implement measures to control scale formation and prevent corrosion, ensuring the boiler operates at optimal efficiency.
• Blowdown Control: Regular blow down (removing a portion of the concentrated boiler water and replacing it with feed water) helps in controlling the levels of dissolved solids in the boiler water. This process is crucial for preventing scale buildup.
• Monitoring and Maintenance: Continuous monitoring of water quality and boiler performance is essential. FlowAqua provide services to regularly check and adjust chemical dosages, as well as inspect the boiler system for signs of issues.
• Compliance and Regulations: FlowAqua will ensure that the boiler system complies with local regulations and standards. We will maintain your testing schedule and documentation to assist in meeting legal requirements.
• Customised Solutions: Every boiler system is unique, FlowAqua Ltd.’s approach will be tailored to the specific requirements of the system. FlowAqua Ltd will assess the individual needs of the boiler and provide customised solutions.
• Training and Support: FlowAqua offer training and support to the boiler operators. Qualified training ensures that the operators understand the importance of water treatment and how to maintain the system effectively.

Performing a technical survey for steam boiler treatment involves a systematic evaluation of the existing boiler system and its water treatment processes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to conducting a steam boiler treatment technical survey:

• Gather Background Information
• On-Site Inspection
• Water Analysis
• Data Analysis
• Review of Current Treatment Program
• System Efficiency and Performance Review
• Safety and Compliance Review
• Recommendations
• Documentation
• Follow-Up

Inspecting the water side of a steam boiler is critical for monitoring the system’s performance to ensure its efficiency and longevity. Here at FlowAqua we will work with our customers to plan a site visit whilst the boiler is offline for it’s annual inspection. FlowAqua will complete an internal inspection report with written report supplied to our customers.

Chemical cleaning of steam boilers and heat exchangers is a crucial maintenance process used to remove scale, corrosion, and other deposits that accumulate over time. These deposits can significantly reduce the efficiency of the equipment and, in some cases, lead to equipment failure.
