Boiler feed is the fresh or treated water to replenish the water loss though evaporation or leak
Function - It adds the pressure to the feed water before it entyers into boiler feed pump suction Advantage - Ensures high margin NPSH A for boiler feed pump spinning at high rpm (5250Rpm) Drive for booster - Normally @1450 rpm Type of impeller- Mostly preferred Double suction
In boiler feed water line the NRV is normally installed between Pump and stop valve if the line is short and an another NRV is installed at boiler entrance and after stop valve if the line is long or pump is 10 to 15 m away from the boiler.
Maintaining a gas-free condition in boiler feed water is crucial to prevent corrosion and scaling within the boiler system, which can lead to decreased efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Dissolved gases, especially oxygen and carbon dioxide, can cause pitting and other forms of corrosion in metal components. Additionally, gas bubbles can impair heat transfer, reducing the overall performance of the boiler. Ensuring the feed water is free of gases helps extend the lifespan of the boiler and improve operational reliability.
Use of water in a refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes. Steam is also used for process heating, for pumping, and, in some refineries, for generating electric power
No, a boiler is not a chlorifier. A boiler is a device used to heat water or produce steam for heating or power generation, while a chlorifier is a system designed for the disinfection of water through the addition of chlorine. The two serve different purposes in water treatment and heating processes.
Boiler feed pumps are an important part of any boiler operation. They control the amount of water fed to the boiler and the manner in which it is fed.
A digester feed pump forces water to a boiler. It works by transferring cool water to the boiler to be heated.
If oil is mixed with boiler feed water, it can cause scaling and fouling in the boiler system, leading to reduced efficiency and potentially damaging the boiler components. It is important to prevent oil contamination of boiler feed water through proper filtration and maintenance of equipment to ensure the smooth operation of the boiler system.
The pH value in boiler feed water is typically maintained between 8.5 and 9.5. This range helps to prevent corrosion and scaling in the boiler system. Regular monitoring and adjustment of pH levels are important to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the boiler.

The boiler feed pump pumps hot feedwater into the boiler. The boiler pressure is to high for water to flow into it by gravity, so a pump is required.
The feed check valve of a boiler is on the line coming out of the boiler it is usually to prevent the water from going back in to the boiler its coming out of so it would build up excessive amounts of pressure which will cause the t&p valve to blow temperature and pressure
The feed system cycles between boiler and turbine and enables the steam to return to the boiler as feed water. A closed feed cycles a main propulsion steam run turbine through a high pressure water tube boiler. The condenser, set to a high vacuum, will receive the steam turbine exhaust.
