Spirax Sarco has published a new white paper explaining how steam users can save money and prevent many potential problems by using an effective water treatment regime.
If left unchecked, the impurities naturally occurring in raw water supplies can damage steam system performance dramatically. Corrosion, foaming and the build-up of deposits are just some of the issues that can lead to poor performance and increasing maintenance costs.
Spirax Sarco says that the right water treatment can prevent these issues. However, with raw water quality varying widely, it can take considerable expertise to analyse the problems and devise the most effective remedies.
In addition to significantly reducing maintenance costs, the right water treatment regime can improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, maximise productivity and minimise the cost of treatment chemicals. 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.
