Boiler Water treatment is necessary due to problems occurred in boiler like scaling, carryover, corrosion & Pitting in Internal Tubes & Condensate lines. Boiler water should be free from all type of Hardness, Dissolved Oxygen which always implies scaling resulting in poor heat transfer& higher fuel consumption. Boiler Water treatment programme consist of combination of Oxygen Scavenger, Alkalinity Builder, Scale Inhibitor, All Volatile Treatment Programme, Amine Treatment & Inorganic Phosphate & Polymers.
Objectives of Boiler Water Treatment Programme
It consists of External & Internal Treatment Programme. External Treatment is the removal of impurities from incoming water which was used in boiler. This is use when different type of feed water quality is to be use in boiler system. There are so many ways as Deaeration, Evaporation, Softening. Membranes for the treatment of feed water for a particular system. Internal Treatment is the treatment of impurities within the boiler system. The reactions occur properly in feed tank & boiler drum. Internal treatment is use alone or with external treatment. Main purpose is to properly reaction of Scale Conditioner, Oxygen Scavenger & Alkalinity Builder with feed water impurities & here chemicals addition is made to feed water Boiler Water & Steam.
The commonly used products include:
Phosphates & Polyphosphates Dispersants:
It reacts with alkalinity of boiler water & neutralize the hardness of water by forming complex phosphate forms & also some insoluble compound that can be easily remove by blow down.
Anti-Scaling agents:
increase the dispersive properties of the conditioning products. They can be Lingo sulphonates, tannins, Polyacrylates, malefic styrene copolymer etc.
Oxygen Scavengers:
They are divided in two categories Volatile & Non-Volatile. Volatile are as Hydrazine, Diethyl hydroxylamine Amine (DEHA), Carbohydrazide, MEK Base while Non-Volatile are as Sodium Sulphite & Tannin Base. These scavengers reduce the oxides and dissolved oxygen & passivate inner metallurgy & metal surfaces.
Anti-foaming or Anti-priming agents:
Mixtures of surface-active agents remove foam and prevent the carryover of fine water particles in the steam.
All Volatile Treatment: In this volatile Conditioning chemicals are used with D.M. Water in order to maintain Virtual Absence of Solids in Boiler Water.
Fireside boiler treatment is necessary to prevent fireside slag/deposition from fuel ash components, fireside corrosion, and cold end corrosion. BIPL has fuel conditioner products that primarily consist of organo metallic formulations and help address problems associated with pre combustion, combustion, and post combustion.
Pre-Combustion :
In the pre combustion area, water can create corrosion problems with storage tank surfaces and oil transfer lines, as well as contribute to flameouts. In order to minimize problems, BIPL has fuel conditioners to emulsify water into the oil. We have very wide range of fuel additives which control sludge formation, preventing problems associated with plug oil pre heaters, and burner tips. Post-Combustion: Main problem are slagging and corrosion on the Cold or Hot sides of a boiler. The corrosion is due to SO2 being catalysed by the vanadium-laden slag to form sulfuric acid on the cooler sections of a boiler. We have very wide range of Fuel conditioners which minimize Corrosion as well as Slag Build Up. Combustion: We have very wide range of catalysts to enhance combustion thus reducing unburned carbon emissions. Excessive stack emissions can create “out-of compliance” situations, resulting in unfavourable publicity for your plant. Also impact furnace inner structure.
The commonly used Fuel Additives include:
1. Emulsifier:
These are surface active agents synthesised to emulsify droplets of water present in oil & prevent water separation .Larger drops of Oil separate from oil & settle in storage in tank .
2. Corrosion Inhibitor For Fuel Feed System:
Organic soluble amines are good corrosion inhibitor at lower Concentration. They absorb on metal surface forming a thin layer preventing attack of Salty water on metal.
3. Sludge Dispersant:
They are polymeric surface active agents. The dispersant keeps Sludge in Suspension. Surface active agent does not allow agglomeration & settling during storage.
4. Pour Point Dispersant:
The pour point dispersant is again a polymeric compound which does not allow wax to crystallize & gel. It keeps wax in dispersed condition increasing Oil Flowability.
5. Surfactant :
It is a detergent like material which prevents agglomeration of asphaltene. It also keeps the heat exchange surface ,strainers clean. The surfactant reduces surface tension of oil.
6. Antioxidants:
These chemicals provide oxidation ,polymerization & microbiological degreadation of fuel oil during storage.
7. Combustion Catalyst:
The catalyst speeds up combustion process in furnace . Fuel burns in shorter period & more completely in the presence of catalyst.The asphaltenes ,sludge & wax in fuel burns faster reducing soot formation. Catalyst Increases combustion efficiency & allows operation at lower percentage of excess air . It reduces the ignition temperature of soot. Therefore some of the soot deposits at the colder areas are burnt off by the action of combustion catalyst.
OSMOSIS is the phenomena of water flow through a semi permeable Membrane that blocks the transport of Salts or other Solutes through it. REVERSE OSMOSIS is the phenomena when two water volumes are separated by semi permeable membrane water will flow from low concentration to higher concentration. The flow may be stopped or reversed by applying external pressure on the side of higher concentration. If there are solute molecules only in one side of the system then the pressure that stops the flow called OSMOTIC Pressure.
MEMBRANE ANTISCALANT:
RO membrane systems that use antiscalant avoid mineral scaling and thus can operate for extended periods of time between membrane cleanings. Also, antiscalant allow RO membrane systems to remove far more pure water from each gallon of feed water than would otherwise be possible. The inhibition and dispersant properties of BIPL products help extend system run times & reduce cleaning frequency and increase the productive life of RO elements.
There are many different slightly soluble salts that can form scale on the surface of the RO membrane. The type and amount of slightly soluble salts in feed water differ from one site to another. You may need to have a broad spectrum RO antiscalant at one site, and a more specialized RO antiscalant at another. You may want a stronger RO antiscalant for greater reliability for large membrane systems. To meet these different needs we have formulated many antiscalants for all type of customer need.
MEMBRANE CLEANER:
BIPL RO Cleaner formulations are proprietary membrane compatible cleaners that provide efficient and cost-effective removal of all common foulants. These products come in a variety of pH ranges and include liquids or powders. They’re powerful against organic and inorganic foul ants and compatible with all membranes. Several cleaners are classified as Green Chemicals to help BIPL customers meet strict environmental discharge limits.
MEMBRANE BIOCIDE:
BIPL membrane biocide to reduce biological fouling in membrane systems. These biocides are broad spectrum formulations that combat contaminants such as bacteria, fungi and algae. They are compatible with all membranes and can be used with other BIPL cleaners. Our biocides may be applied intermittently, via continuous injection or as a periodic addition to your clean-in-place (CIP) system.
MEMBRANE AUTOSPY : (REVERSE OSMOSIS CHEMICALS SECTION):
BIPL offers membrane autopsy to its all clients which exactly help to understand the main cause of membrane failure & also clear methods of troubleshooting . A small piece of membrane sent to laboratory where that can be inspect and find out solution .The decline in performance due to fouling or scaling of membrane can be restored to some extent by means of chemical cleaning . If membrane polymer damaged then that can not be restored. . To find out exact reason for decline in membrane performance autopsy is the only medium
Chilled water systems that generate cold water used to produce cool air for comfort air conditioning. Chilled water systems used in process cooling water loops. Hot water systems that generate tempered water for space heating. Most chilled water systems will incorporate an open recirculation cooling water system with a cooling tower for condenser cooling. Here Pick up heat from one point & discharge at second point. 10% water generally losses on per day basis in closed loop.
Objectives of Closed Loop Treatment Programme:
Closed system is like Car Radiators. If closed system has more water loss (High Make Up Demand) then water should be deaerated to prevent Oxygen Intrusion in the system. Fresh Make Up contain 8 PPM of dissolved Oxygen .If Oxygenated water is added to a closed system result will be Oxygen Pitting .If close system is new it should be cleaned prior to start-up of treatment programme, Chemical cleaning removes Oil, Mill Scale, Dirt, Welding Fluxes & other contaminants that can interfere with the performance of treatment programme. Chemical cleaning is necessary for older system that suffers from corrosion. After system cleaning apply any of chemical treatment programme.
