A new White Paper from Spirax Sarco shows how steam users can save money and prevent a wide range of potential problems through an effective water treatment regime.
The white paper points out that, if left unchecked, impurities in water supplies can damage steam system performance, with corrosion, foaming and the build-up of deposits just some of the issues that lead to poor performance and spiralling maintenance costs.
The right water treatment can prevent these issues, says Spirax Sarco, but with raw water quality varying widely, it can take expertise to analyse the problems and devise the most effective strategies, it says.
As well as substantially reduced maintenance costs, the right water treatment regime can improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, maximise productivity and minimise the cost of treatment chemicals, advises Spirax Sarco. The result is a significantly lower total cost of ownership for the steam system.
The White Paper explains the different types of contamination and their likely impact, if left unchecked, as well as how steam operators can control these through softening technologies, chemical treatment and reverse osmosis.
