When boiler water turns to steam, residual minerals are left in the boiler. These minerals then settle out of the boiler water and form scale on the boiler heating surfaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the water delivered to the boiler contains even small amounts of scale-forming materials, the internal heating surfaces of the boilers can soon become coated with scale, leading to overheating, increased fuel consumption and subsequent tube failures. Even light or spotty scale deposition can be the foundation for hot spots, cracking, and distortion. For this reason, regularly cleaning the interior of steam generator systems is imperative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boiler Maintenance &amp; Mineral Formation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apexengineeringproducts.com\/boiler-tube-cleaning\/\">Boiler maintenance<\/a> is crucial to the continued operation of your facility. One component to your boiler&#8217;s preventive maintenance program should be an annual cleaning to remove mineral scales that have accumulated within the boiler. These deposits are great insulators that inhibit heat exchange and cause the boiler to lose heat transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, as you can plainly see from our chart, scale that is only 3\/16\u201d thick will cause the boiler to use 27% more fuel! A common unknown fact is that boiler tube failures account for the majority of a power plant\u2019s forced outages. This, all because the boiler may be from inadequate heat transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water scale deposited in steam boilers is usually harder and denser than deposits found in hot water boilers. This is due primarily to the temperatures involved. But even the smallest amount of boiler scale deposits hamper good over-all heating These mineral deposits may occur from poor blow down and\/or poor water treatment practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mineral deposits come from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Operating hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Feed water hardness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Boiler treatment methods<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Feed-water control fluctuations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Blow down techniques and procedures<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/apexengineeringproducts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BoilerBrochureVertical.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">View more information in PDF.<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Descalers Used for?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descalers are typically used to prolong the life of various surfaces, appliances, and machinery. The most common use for a descaler is to remove limescale, rust, mud, and various metal oxides (iron, copper, etc) from equipment, enabling the machinery to function at an optimal level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descaling can be used to clear up blockages and mineral build-ups on a variety of surfaces. Metals and plastics\u2013even glass\u2013can all accumulate unwanted scale deposits over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Untreated mineral deposits can cause long term issues for industrial machinery. Regular descaling is used to make sure machinery is running at full capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens if I don\u2019t Descale Equipment?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failing to properly clean some industrial equipment with a descaler can lead to a few specific issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine and manufacturing temperatures can be greatly affected by mineral build-ups. Usually the heat from a boiler or heat exchanger won\u2019t transfer at an optimal level if descaling is needed. This can lead to increased costs, as more energy is required for machinery to heat up to a given temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooling towers and chillers can also suffer from untreated mineral deposits. Facilities housing large air conditioning networks or data centers can see a major uptick in energy costs if cooling systems aren\u2019t properly descaled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularly descaled industrial systems save money due to lower energy consumption. A descaled machine is a more valuable machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are Descalers Safe?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on what descaler you are handling. General descalers are safe for use if all safety guidelines are followed. Some heavy-duty or specialty descalers can be very acidic and require careful handling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many modern descalers contain a buffering agent that removes corrosive effects associated with acids used in some chemical descaling compounds. Again, make sure that you understand the uses and safety precautions associated with any industrial descaler you choose to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biodegradable industrial descalers are cleared for disposal in normal plant sewers at any concentration. Be sure to dispose of any chemical descaler you are using in the proper manner (as not all descalers are biodegradable).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some chemical descalers, specifically <em><strong>RYDLYME<\/strong><\/em>, are totally safe for accidental contact with the skin and have no transportation or handling restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>RYDLYME<\/strong><\/em> The World\u2019s Leading Descalcificador biodegradable<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more than 80 years, <em><strong>RYDLYME<\/strong><\/em> has been the most trusted brand for removing scale from boilers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, condensers, chillers, and so much more.
