Corrosion & Scale Inhibition
The water supplied to
your boiler and feedwater system from your local utility must be conditioned
before it will meet the strict operating needs of your equipment. Salts,
dissolved gases and inorganic compounds are present and must be dealt with for
the most efficient operation of your equipment.
Some of the more common
impurities found in municipal water are:

These impurities must
be removed. Whether your system is an open or closed type, maximum efficiency
can only be obtained by a closely monitored treatment program customized to your
physical plant's individual characteristics.
Scale, fouling, corrosion, cracking from
caustic embrittlement and foaming can only be controlled by a consistently
applied treatment program.
We can provide a customized
solution. Through internal chemical treatment of boiler and feed water,
demineralization through ion-exchange water softening, and mechanical deaeration,
we can increase heat transfer, lower fuel costs and lower chemical
consumption.
A customized solution from CSC
Technology will include:
 | Familiarity with the equipment in your physical plant
and its operating frequency. |
