Technical Data Sheet BOILER SYSTEM OXYGEN CONTROLCorrosion
protection both during boiler operation and shutdown is a major objective of
any boiler system treatment program. It
is well known that water containing dissolved oxygen can be highly corrosive
to steel boiler system components. Oxygen
corrosion is particularly insidious since it is a local attack/pitting
mechanism. Consequently,
dissolved oxygen, even at reduced levels, can very quickly lead to
catastrophic failure of steel boiler components. Oxygen removal is typically accomplished using both mechanical and chemical methods. Mechanical methods are typically used to remove the bulk of the dissolved oxygen, typically to <50 ppb. Chemical scavengers are typically used to remove the remaining small concentration of dissolved oxygen. For more, contact CSC Technology for a complete white paper. All Rights Reserved.
