Foaming causes: High TDS (total dissolved solids), High suspended solids, detergent type contaimination and high alkilinity. The effects of foaming can cause carry over to turbines and down stream damage. Primming Causes high water level, sudden steam demand and forcing a boiler, the effects are carry over and down stream damge.

What are the consequences of low alkalinity in boiler water?

Low alkalinity in boiler water can lead to increased corrosion of metal surfaces, as alkalinity helps to maintain a stable pH level. This can result in damage to the boiler components and decreased efficiency of the system. Additionally, low alkalinity can also lead to foaming and carryover in the boiler, which can cause operational issues and reduce the overall effectiveness of the boiler.
