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 are boiler scale remover?

Boiler scale removers are chemicals or descaling agents used to remove mineral deposits, such as calcium and magnesium, from the interior surfaces of boilers. These deposits can reduce the efficiency of the boiler and potentially lead to equipment damage if not removed. Scale removers help to clean and maintain the boiler for optimal performance.


What happens to boiler when the water is heated up?

When water in a boiler is heated up, it turns into steam. The steam then expands and builds pressure, which can be used to generate power or heat. The boiler is designed to contain and control this process to power various applications such as heating systems or turbines.


How does a low pressure boiler work?

A low-pressure boiler works by generating steam at a pressure lower than 15 psi (pounds per square inch). Water is heated in the boiler and turns into steam, which is then used for various applications such as heating or powering machinery. Low-pressure boilers are commonly used in buildings for heating systems and hot water supply.


What happens if you burn natural gas in a boiler?

When natural gas is burned in a boiler, it produces heat energy that is used to raise the temperature of water, creating steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines that generate electricity or to provide heat for various industrial processes or heating systems. Burning natural gas also releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

What is Auxiliary Boiler?

An auxiliary boiler is a secondary boiler used to support the main boiler in a steam power plant or marine vessel. It is often used when the main boiler is unable to meet the steam demands, providing additional steam capacity. Auxiliary boilers can also be used for heating purposes during maintenance or downtime of the main boiler.

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.


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.
