Boiler Water Treatments

Innovative chemistries, advanced monitoring and control systems, and expert support for your boiler water treatment challenges.

Meet your challenges head on with our boiler water treatments.

To ensure the optimum performance and safety of boiler and steam generating systems, it is imperative that corrosion and scale deposits be addressed proactively. Solenis’ boiler water treatment programs combine application expertise with advanced boiler water treatment chemicals and state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems to manage these issues and the multitude of problems they can cause. Whether your objective is to improve production, extend equipment life or protect plant assets, you can count on Solenis to provide a cost-effective solution that addresses your boiler water treatment needs.

For high-pressure boiler systems we offer our OnGuard™ suite of performance-based monitoring and control systems. These systems utilize proprietary algorithms to deliver unparalleled protection from corrosion and deposition. And, when integrated with our secure online platform — Solenis™ Cloud — you can use these systems to remotely monitor and control your boiler water treatment program 24/7.

Dedicated Boiler Water Treatment Support

All of our boiler water treatment programs are supported by a dedicated team of experienced applications experts who support our field representatives with onsite and remote technical support, providing the industry’s best expertise in establishing, maintaining and troubleshooting your boiler and steam systems.

Critical Challenges in Boiler Water Systems

All boiler systems are vulnerable to the impact of water-related issues that can compromise their performance and lifespan. Without a detailed boiler water treatment program, facilities are at risk of significant equipment failures, leading to safety hazards, operational expenses, and costly production interruptions.

The buildup of hardened mineral deposits, such as calcium and magnesium scale, on crucial boiler surfaces like tubes and drums acts as an unwanted insulating layer, dramatically reducing heat transfer efficiency and ultimately costing your business more through higher fuel consumption.  

A destructive electrochemical degradation of metals that occurs within your boiler systems. Without an effective boiler water treatment program, corrosion can spread rapidly, leading to weakened components, additional maintenance costs, and eventual equipment failure.  

Contaminants leaving the boiler with the steam can cause unwanted deposits throughout the system, impacting vital elements such as heat exchangers, which can hinder their performance and overall lifespan.  

Boiler tubes, which are essential for heat exchange, are continuously vulnerable to corrosion and scale buildup leading to equipment stress. Tube failures can lead to leaks, loss of efficiency, and are costly to repair but can be mitigated by a well-executed boiler water treatment program.  

Steam quality is paramount for many industrial processes and power generation. Ineffective boiler water treatment can lead to poor steam quality, negatively impacting equipment performance.
