The role and classification of boiler scale inhibitors

Mondo Finance Updated on 2024-02-19

Boiler scale inhibitor is a chemical agent specially used in boiler systems, and its main functions include preventing the formation of scale, slowing down the rate of corrosion, and protecting the stable operation of boiler systems.

The main mechanism of action of boiler scale inhibitors includes dispersion, osmosis, chelation, solubilization, etc. Specifically, it can form a protective film on the surface of solid particles, so that particles can be separated from each other or between particles and substrates; The film-forming substance penetrates into the inside of the scaled object, reacts chemically with the fouling substance and generates a hydration product that is not easily soluble in water; The coordination bond between metal ions and organic acid ions is used to inhibit or prevent the precipitation of scaling salts in water; By increasing the solubility of water, it prevents the precipitation of scale salts in the water.

Boiler scale inhibitors are generally classified according to their chemical composition, which are mainly divided into two categories: non-scaling machine inhibitors and organic scale inhibitors. When using boiler scale inhibitors, care needs to be taken to add them according to the recommended dosage and regularly test the boiler water quality to ensure their normal operation and prolong their service life. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the storage conditions, avoid high temperature and humidity, and keep it dry and clean.
