RESPONDING TO BOILER FEEDWATER CONTAMINATION

摘要

Feedwater contamination can have a serious impact on industrial boiler systems. Contamination can damage boiler internals, contaminate steam and damage steam-using equipment. The sources of contamination include the condensate system, makeup treatment system and overloaded or malfunctioning deaerators.rnDetection is the key to responding to feedwater contamination. The response to feedwater contamination is based on taking actions to isolate/correct the contamination, counteract the damaging effects and/or removing affected equipment from service before catastrophic damage can occur.
