The blow down refers to a process applied to maintain the efficient operation of the boiler plant and the quality of the steam produced. However, the blowdown is hot water, which is heated with fuel and thus reducing it affects fuel economy. To minimize scale and achieve maximum fuel economy and reliable boiler operation, water treatment systems are used.

TEMAΚ provides suitable water treatment systems to improve the quality of the boiler feedwater, reducing the blow down percentage and achieving maximum fuel economy.

Reverse osmosis is an effective process for improving the quality of water used in boilers. This technology can remove up to 99% of dissolved salts (ions), particles, colloids, organic compounds, and microorganisms from the water entering the boiler.

The benefits of using reverse osmosis in boilers include:
• Fuel consumption savings in the boiler plant
Fuel savings occur because the boiler feedwater after reverse osmosis will be of excellent quality, minimizing the blow down in the boiler. Since the reject, is hot water, for which fuel has been consumed, reducing blow down reflects in reduced fuel consumption and significant savings in fuel procurement costs. Fuel cost reduction entails the rapid amortization of the reverse osmosis installation investment.
• Increase in boiler and equipment lifespan
As the boiler is protected from scale accumulation and corrosion, its lifespan can be maximized by avoiding corrosion, salt deposits, and leaks. This means that the boiler will remain operational and efficient for a longer period, reducing replacement and maintenance costs in the long run.
Thus, boiler performance is improved, equipment is protected from premature wear, and operational expenses are reduced in the long term.

TEMAΚ’s specialized engineers can study and design the optimal water treatment solution for the boiler plant.
