effect of conductivity in boiler water
The Effects of High Conductivity in Boiler Water Treatment. When you hear the term boiler water, this refers to any water that’s situated in a boiler or the pumps and piping surrounding the boiler for the main purpose of being evaporated into steam.

Boiler Water Conductivity Measurement Fundamentals. As a boiler generates steam, any impurities which are in the boiler feedwater and which do not boil off with the steam will concentrate in the boiler water. Inside the boiler the heat generates steam bubbles inside the water.

Water chemistry sensors for both feed water and boiler need monitoring as any impurities in this gets concentrated and gets carried over in the steam. Conductivity controls for water blowdown in the drum type boiler are a method to remove such concentrate. Conductivity is just one of many factors to monitor.

Whilst the boiler water conductivity is converted to a resistance through the probe, it cannot be measured using a simple dc resistance meter. If a dc voltage is applied to the probe, tiny hydrogen or oxygen bubbles are formed on the surface due to electrolysis of the water. This effect, called electrolytic polarisation, causes a much higher

CONDUCTIVITY CONTROL IN THE BOILER • Blowdown – two types with two distinct functions • Surface blowdown • Small amount of boiler water drawn off near surface continuously or intermittently • Function is to control concentration of dissolved solids; provide correct boiler water chemistry • Bottom blowdown

Sometimes, conductivity measurements are linked with other methods to increase the sensitivity of detection of specific types of ions. For example, in the boiler water technology, the boiler blowdown is continuously monitored for "cation conductivity", which is the conductivity of the water after it has been passed through a cation exchange

When sodium zeolite softened makeup is used, the need for boiler blowdown is usually determined by measurement of the boiler water conductivity, which provides an indirect measure of the boiler water dissolved solids. Other boiler water constituents such as chlorides, sodium, and silica are also used as a means of controlling blowdown.

For boiler water PH is maintained between 11-11.8 and that of feed water between 7-9. Effects. If either of the values increases, water will accordingly become acidic or alkaline, leading to detrimental effects caused due to acidic attack or caustic embrittlement. This may damage the boiler completely. 2. Hardness

Boiler feedwater treatment. Boiler water treatment is used to control alkalinity, prevent scaling, correct pH, and to control conductivity. The boiler water needs to be alkaline and not acidic, so that it does not ruin the tubes. There can be too much conductivity in the feed water when there are too many dissolved solids.

part of a disassociated water molecule. When we take our conductivity/TDS readings on the boiler water and calculate cycles of concentration, we want to have a truer estimate of the cycles of concentration of dissolved solids without the added conductance effects of hydroxyl ions. Where do hydroxyl ions come from? There are a few sources. Water

Troubleshooting: Low Sulfite Residuals By James McDonald, PE, CWT Originally Published: CSTN January 2003 L ow sulfite residual in a boiler can have many causes. Each boiler system is unique. You should gain an understanding of how your system relates to the possible causes outlined in this article. Possible Causes x Undercycled boilers

That oxygen comes out of solution as the water boils, and it can eat holes in the boiler, right at the boiler’s waterline. If you decide to feed with hot water instead of cold water, the minerals in the water will come out of solution on the automatic water-feeder’s seat, and that can cause a flood, especially if it’s a one-pipe-steam system.

Conductivity control is important for minimizing the mineral level in the boiler by replacing process water with fresh water. This removal of water is referred to as blowdown. While blowdown is an important process, excessive blowdown should be prevented to avoid wasting water and energy.

Conductivity and Water Flow. The effect of water flow on conductivity and salinity values is fairly basic. If the inflow is a freshwater source, it will decrease salinity and conductivity values 29. Freshwater sources include springs, snowmelt, clear, clean streams and fresh groundwater 21.

Water used in industries and households is often treated for removal of biological impurities, chemicals, undesired mineral content, abnormal pH and high conductivity. Conductivity is the result of the presence of mineral salts of elements like sodium, calcium and magnesium. These salts when dissolved in water,

Testing Alkalinity In Boiler Water. Alkalinity is a key control parameter for boilers (outside of the prescribed operating range, it can lead to corrosion, caustic metal embrittlement, and carryover) and cooling water systems (where it has a significant effect on chemical treatments for scale and corrosion inhibition).

Adjust continuous blowdown to maintain the conductivity of the boiler water within acceptable limits and blow down the mud drum on a regular basis. It is also important to blow the sludge out of all the dead legs of the low-water trips, water column, etc., on a regular basis to prevent sludge buildup in these areas.

Phosphate is doing interesting job in Boiler. It works as an anti-scalant since phosphate react with calcium hardness to create suspended solids (which is easier to discharge via blowdown) in order to prevent any calcium carbonate (CaCO3) /calcium
