Silica in boiler water (boiler drum)
Silica is a common impurity that can be found in boiler feedwater, and if it is not properly removed or controlled, it can cause various issues in the boiler drum. When water is heated in a boiler, it evaporates and leaves behind any impurities, such as silica, which can thenRead More
Why during purging of utility boiler air flow maintain 30 to 40 percent?
During purging of a utility boiler, the air flow is maintained at 30 to 40 percent to ensure that there is enough air in the boiler to displace any potentially hazardous gases or vapors. Purging is a process that removes any hazardous gases or vapors that may be present inRead More
Importance of maintaining pH in boiler water
Maintaining the pH value of a boiler is important because it helps to prevent corrosion and scale buildup within the system. If the pH level of the boiler water is too low (acidic), it can cause corrosion of the metal surfaces in the boiler, including the tubes and pipes, whichRead More
Hydrazine Dosing in water treatment process used in power plant
Hydrazine dosing is a common water treatment process used in power plants to remove dissolved oxygen from the feedwater and condensate water systems. Dissolved oxygen can cause corrosion in the steam and condensate systems, which can lead to leaks and reduced system efficiency. Hydrazine reacts with the dissolved oxygen toRead More
Ammonia dosing in condensate water
Ammonia dosing is a common method used to maintain pH in boiler water, and it is recommended for most HRSGs to maintain pH at 25 degree centigrade temperature within a range of 9.6—10.0. Ammonia is a cheaper material used to maintain pH in boiler water, and it is known toRead More
