Steam Chemistry Target Values •Silica –normal saturated steam should be < 20 ppb in most boilers. High pH in the boiler water will reduce silica carryover from the boiler water. Monitor the steam because: •Precipitation of silica forms silicate deposits on the cold end of the turbine that are not water soluble and are very difficult to Learn More

May 02, 2000 · BASIC WATER TREATMENT OF STEAM BOILERS This is a brief discussion on low-pressure steam boiler chemistry. It provides dry kiln boiler operators the tools to maintain an efficient and effective boiler chemistry program. The main goal of this discussion is to provide these tools to operators so that Silica 200 - (0.25x Boiler Pressure Learn More
Feb 14, 2014 · Measuring silica in the steam from the boiler, either at the superheater or at the entrance to the turbine, gives a good indicator of overall steam purity. Provided that the silica concentration Learn More
the steam. Silica is a very weak acid and is not completely dissociated (ionized) at pH 10. 50% of the silica present in boiler water is undissociated. The undissociated silica is the part which is soluble in steam. In the case of two phase water/steam, the solubility is dependent on the pressure – at a given pressure, equilib-Learn More
The deposit of silica in boiler water which occurs is as follow: Analcite (Sodium alumina silicate - Na2O.Al2O3.4SiO2.2H2O) is formed as result of the aluminum content in boiler water through feedwater. Aluminum which is usually delivered is aluminum that is used in pre-treatment in which less supervision occurs in its implementation.Learn More
Excessive steam impurity concentrations can also be caused by feedwater and boiler water chemistries that favor volatile species formation. Carryover of volatile silica can be problematic at pressures above 1000 psig (6.9 MPa). Vaporous silica carryover at a pH of 10.0 is 88% of that at a pH of 8.8.Learn More
Silica is a naturally-occurring material ideal for water treatment in Miura's once-through boilers. Years of research and experience have shown that watertube corrosion can be controlled by balancing the amount of silicate in the water and corrosive ions. BOILERMATE® controls the corrosive ions without the need for additional harmful chemicals.Learn More

Steam contamination (solid particles in the superheated steam) comes from the boiler water largely in the carry‐over of water droplets. The need for extreme purity of steam for use in high pressure turbines has prompted the development of highly satisfactory devices for separating steam and water in a boiler drum. Consequently, steam contamination has been steadily reduced.Learn More
Water used to generate steam contains various impurities, the most typical being compounds of calcium, magnesium, silica and iron. In an system where impurities are allowed to reach excessive concentrations, steam quality can be impaired. In addition, hardness salts can precipitate from the boiler …Learn More
