Boiler Descaler
Why Descale a Boiler?
Boilers are vessels that use combustion heat to heat water or create steam and then transfer the heat from the water to a process. The constant process of heating water can leave behind deposits that affect heat transfer efficiency and may be naturally corrosive to equipment components.
Maintaining boiler equipment to keep components deposit-free ensures optimal performance for cost-effective operations and increased equipment lifespan. To find the best boiler descaler for your operation, there are some considerations for determining boiler descaling chemicals.
Things to Consider about Boiler Descaling
Before beginning boiler descaling procedures, it’s essential to consider how the boiler functions, scale, and equipment characteristics. First, analyze scale characteristics and deposit size to determine the descaling requirements necessary for removal, as well as capacity, and equipment materials.
Boiler Descaling Procedure
- Shut down boiler equipment.
- Blow down while the pressure is still present in the boiler.
- Drain and flush the boiler unit.
- Close the steam valve.
- Add in Scale Remover STSR
- Circulate through the boiler drain or low point, then through the pressure relief valve or high point, and back into a vented container.
- Repeat this process for 4-8 hours, depending on the volume of the boiler.
- Open the steam valve.
- Drain and flush the boiler, then refill and start up.
Depending on consideration factors, every boiler is different and may require additional or fewer steps for boiler descaling. Contact us with any questions you may have about using Scale Remover STSR and the proper descaling process for your equipment.
Scale Remover STSR as a Boiler Descaling Solution
Scale Remover STSR is a biodegradable, non-corrosive, non-hazardous boiler descaling solution. This highly versatile chemical solution effectively removes water scale, calcium buildup, magnesium deposits, and other scale types affecting boiler efficiency. Scale Remover STSR is safe for cleaning rubber, glass, plastic, and surfaces without damage.
It can be used for descaling, buildup prevention, dosing, and scale control in for a variety of other industrial applications. We can customize formulations of Scale Remover STSR to include thickeners or foaming solutions to design a descaling chemical that meets your requirements.
