Much depends on boiler operator and his decision, normally with assistance from his the chemistry representative that he deals with, acids normally are used (with corrosion inhibitors added to help protect metal from the particular acid being used
Some of the types of acids that are used:
(with corrosion inhibitor additives).
Hydrochloric acid (HCl acid) (Muriatic acid).
Tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), (Usually 1:1 ratio).
Phosphoric acid.
Sulfuric acid.
sulphamic acid.
and there are some other acids or formulas of acids .
It is best to talk with your boiler chemistry representative for advice on treatment of scale.
Prevention as always is the best cure.

Boiler drum which chemicals are using?
chemical is used in sub critical boiler that is tri sodium phosphate added in durm. The main purpose is raise in pH value , salt is converted in to sludge form
Is steam turning to water a chemical or physical change?
The formation of steam is a physical change. The chemical composition of steam (water vapor), is H2O, and the chemical composition of liquid water is H2O, so there is no chemical change going from liquid to gas (vapor/steam). Thus, it is a physical change.
What is the effect of impurties in boiling point?
The effect of impurities in boiling point are first they become salts some times hard salts . These salts settle down at the bottom of the container and form as a crest. Secondly If the impure water is used to make steam the steam from so with hard salts enter the pipe line of boiler valves etc and give the situation to burst the pipe line and boiler itself.
What chemical is produced when fuel is burned?
when an excess of oxygen is used CO2 and water (in the form of steam) is produced but if a quantity too small for the reaction is used CO is produced and again water (in the form of steam!) i hope this helps :)
What material used in boiler tube in indian power plant?
Usually Alloy steel is used, copper and brass are also used as boiler tube materials
A vessel used for production of steam is called?
Boiler
What is the boiler used for in Doodle God?
boiler+coal=steam engine
Is steam reversible?
Yes. Steam is produced in a steam generator (boiler), used to power an engine (or turbine), condensed, and returned to the boiler as feedwater.
What does a boiler do in a coal power station?
A boiler in a coal power station is responsible for converting water into steam. The coal is burned in the furnace of the boiler, producing heat which is used to generate steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.
What is ships boiler?
Some older ships used the power of steam to propel them through the water. A boiler is used to heat water to make steam which is passed to a steam engine which turns the propeller. In ships like the Titanic the boiler was fuelled by coal but later steam ships used gas to heat the water.
What percent of steam generated in a boiler is used for the steam atomizing burner?
Typically, around 1-2% of the total steam generated in a boiler is used for the steam atomizing burner, which is responsible for finely dispersing fuel oil for combustion. The majority of the steam produced is used for other processes such as heating, power generation, or industrial operations.
How much energy is used per kilogram of steam?
That would depend on if the steam is superheated dry steam or not and if superheated dry steam its temperature. It should be possible to google "boiler equations" or "boiler design" to get details.
What are the common oxygen scavengers used for boiler water?
There is a chemical called Carbohydrazide which is used in boiler water. Carbohydrazide is a volatile oxygen scavenger, contributes no solids to the system, reacts readily with oxygen at low temperatures and pressures, and passivates the metal of the boiler system. Carbohydrazide cannot be used in applications where the steam comes into contact with food.
What is the application of boiler stop valve?
Stop Boiler Valve (or Crown Valve) is installed on an outlet line of a boiler. It's purpose is isolation of a boiler from a downstream steam line. Its position may be either open or close, it cannot be used for throttling of steam.
Need Better Deal on Steam Boiler?
This is the typical price for a new 9L steam boiler. To find a price lower than this you will either have to get lucky with a sale, or purchased used.
What is boiler and how does it work?
A broiler is a mechanism that boils water that produces steam. The steam can be used for a purpose such as cooking foods.
How do trains run on coal?
Only (some) steam engines used coal. It was burnt in a boiler to heat water to steam.
