Water Treatment
Feed water for boilers needs to be as pure as possible with a minimum of suspended solids and dissolved impurities which cause corrosion, foaming and water carryover. Various chemical treatments have been employed over the years, the most successful being Porta treatment. This contains a foam modifier that acts as a filtering blanket on the surface of the water that considerably purifies steam quality.
