Corrosion in general terminology is the destructive attack of metal. Metal loss or damage can occur due to chemical & electrochemical reaction, physical erosion or biological attack. Corrosion is always because of chemical reaction. Water corrosiveness is determined by the impurities present in it. Oxygen, dissolved solids, gases and acids in water attack the common construction material.

Major Problems due to Corrosion:-

Metal loss (capital loss)
System leakage or burst
Water / Fluid contamination
Poor heat transfer (power loss)
Corrosions are of various types and differ with application to application.

Major Types of Boiler Corrosion:-

Uniform/General Corrosion due to high temperature
Pitting Corrosion due to high temperature and chloride
Galvanic Corrosion due to multi-metals
Oxidation Corrosion due to oxygen and carbon dioxide
Stress Cracking Corrosion due to high pressure and temp.

Boiler Water Alkalinity Controller

Chemtex’s Boiler Water Alkalinity Controllers are liquid acidic formulation, used to reduce excess alkalinity from the boiler feed water. Low alkalinity helps to prevent scale and corrosion and cuts down blow down rates.

Equivalent or even better than MAXTREAT 3005

Properties	Unit	Typical Value
Form and Appearance	-	Clear Colorless Liquid
Odor	-	Characteristic
pH (neat)	pH	< 2.0
Solubility	-	Completely Soluble in Water

Dosage and Method:-

Chemtex’s Boiler Water Alkalinity Controllers are dosed depending upon the feed water characteristic and desired alkalinity requirement. It is compatible with all other treatment chemicals. It is dosed exactly as per the dosage rate and method of MAXTREAT 3005.

Please refer to your CSL service engineer for exact product dosage.

Key Features & Benefits:-

Minimizes scaling and corrosion
Imparts sludge conditioning to minimize scaling and deposition
Compatible with other treatment chemicals
Reduces blow down requirement
