What causes boiler scale? 【Basic Knowledge】

The increase in fuel costs may be due to boiler scale? We will explain the causes and countermeasures!

■Do you have any of these concerns? "Increasing fuel consumption to produce the same amount of steam," "Taking too long to start up," "The same scale deposits every time during regular cleaning" — When scale (hard deposits) accumulates on the heat transfer surfaces of a boiler, these issues can become chronic. ■Why does scale accumulate? It occurs when water containing hardness components evaporates and concentrates inside the boiler, causing components that can no longer dissolve to precipitate on the inner walls of the pipes. Traditional measures of "removing it once it has formed" do not provide a fundamental solution and tend to lead to the same issues recurring. ■We have a solution! We propose switching to energy-saving boiler chemicals that combine scale-dispersing and scale-removing components. This switch can be made without stopping operations, achieving recovery of heat transfer efficiency and reducing maintenance labor. ■Please consult with us first! The optimal chemicals vary depending on water quality and operating conditions, so we will provide tailored recommendations starting with a water quality test before implementation.
