    Our Boiler Water Treatment Chemical Range

    Boiler Corrosion Inhibitors

    A major cause of corrosion in boilers is dissolved oxygen, particularly in conjunction with low pH (low alkalinity) although excessive alkalinity can also be a factor. Chemical oxygen scavengers are used to eliminate oxygen from the feed water. 

    How to Use Scale & Corrosion Inhibitors

    Oxygen Scavengers

    Oxygen scavengers use chemicals such as sodium sulfite, tannin and carbohydrazide to remove dissolved oxygen in the boiler feedwater.

    Return Line Treatments

    This product is specifically designed to protect the boiler return line from corrosion and help maintain water quality. Filming amines are generally dosed into the steam lines and form a protective film on the surface of the condensate lines. Neutralising amines enter the condensate lines with the steam and neutralise the carbonic acid thereby raising the pH.

    Product code Composition Comments
    BV669 Sulphite based. FDA approved, catalysed sodium metabisulphite.
    BV177 Sulphite and DEHA based. Dual action corrosion inhibitor for steam raising plant and hot water systems. Generally used in smaller systems.

    BV166 Sodium Erythorbate. For steam raising plant operating up to 40bar. Can be used where the steam comes into contact with food or food products.
    BV449 Sodium erythorbate and neutralising amine based formulation. For steam raising plant operating up to 40bar. Can be used where the steam comes into contact with food or food products (other than milk and providing the neutralising amine is less than 15ppm in the condensate).
    BV176 DEHA based formulation. Very concentrated DEHA based formulation.
    BV175 DEHA based formulation. For steam raising plant and hot water systems including medium pressure hot water systems.
    BV681 Carbohydrazide based formulation Suitable for use in boilers of any pressure up to and including supercritical (220 bar g)

     

    Dispersants & Sludge Conditioners

    Using dispersants and sludge conditioners in water systems prevents mineral particles from settling and forming deposits. Creating a buildup of sludge or scale can stunt water flow, damage equipment, and impact the effectiveness of your system.


    Polymer-Based Dispersants

    These are used as a steam boiler descaling treatment, preventing scales from adhering to the sides of metal surfaces. Polymer-based dispersants are often applied to water systems in soft or low-hardness water areas.

    Product code Composition Comments
    BV34 Polymer and phosphate based formulation For use as a scale and sludge conditioner for steam boilers preventing scales adhering to the metal surfaces. Use with softened or low hardness waters, FDA approved. Concentrated formulation.

    BV917 Phosphate and caustic based formulation. A pH regulator for high pressure steam generation plant. Contains only components approved by the FDA for the treatment of boilers where the steam contacts food.

     

    Alkalinity Builders & pH Adjusters

    The ideal pH level for boilers is around 10.5-12. This level mitigates the risk of scaling and corrosion by maintaining a protective film. Alkalinity builders and pH adjusters help raise the pH levels and protective properties to improve your system's efficiency and longevity.

    Alkalinity Boosters

    Sodium hydroxide is an effective alkalinity booster that improves water's alkaline levels. It buffers water's capacity to neutralise acidic impurities and restricts changes in alkaline levels. Many alkalinity boosters can be formulated for specific boiler water treatment. 

     

    Product code Composition Comments
