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.

What does a boiler do in a coal power station?

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.
