Outdated/ Inadequate General Water Treatment Program
Any process that requires water also requires a water treatment program. But just having a program isn’t enough – it needs to be a program that will provide consistent, quality results. A bare-minimum program will quickly lead to inefficiencies or issues that need correcting later, so it’s worth investing in expert treatment that will prevent problems from occurring at all. It’s also important to re-evaluate and update your program every once in a while since water needs can change over time.
Improper Blowdown Practices
Blowdown is a necessary part of boiler water treatment, but it can be done wrong, or at least in a way that will lead to inefficiencies. On the one hand, excessive blowdown can be wasteful and inefficient – wasting chemicals and energy. While on the other hand, too little blowdown can result in an accumulation of impurities in the water that can cause issues later on.
Neglecting to Monitor Water Quality
Regular monitoring of water within a boiler system is crucial to the consistent health of the boiler. Parameters like pH level, alkalinity, and dissolved oxygen are important indicators of possible issues in the water, and should be checked fairly frequently. Knowing the composition of your water will help you treat it correctly and develop a more comprehensive chemical program. Not sure what you’re looking for? Ask a water treatment expert!
