Alkalinity Control

ALKALINITY CONTROL is a concentrated alkaline solution recommended for boiler water treatment. It prevents corrosion and assists in converting the hard scale deposits to a soft and non-sticking mud. Furthermore,it is used as a& neutralizing product against other acidic in nature cleaning products.

Characteristics, advantages and applications

Efficient in the prevention of corrosion.
Ideal for salt-scale control.
Can be combined with other products.
Easy to apply and use.
Achieves optimum results regarding natural oils and fats.

Physical properties

ALKALINITY CONTROL is a Sodium Hydroxide solution exceptionally alkaline. This inorganic, non-volatile alkali attacks Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium and Tin. There is no known effect on rubber and plastic. When dissolved, with any proportion of water, heat may be released.

Application and use

A.Dosing Procedure

Dosage is proportional to p-Alkalinity and/or pH. A proper level of treatment is maintained by testing for p-Alkalinity. For instance, a 100ml portion of ALKALINITY CONTROL in one ton of water raises alkalinity by 50-60 ppm as CaCO₃. Initially, use 150 ml of ALKALINITY CONTROL per ton of water. Note that high-pressure boilers and water boilers should sustain a 100-150 ppm as CaCO₃ .

B. Testing Procedure

1. Test water sample from the water boiler as described in the directions of MARICHEM ALKALINITY TEST KIT (or WT ALKA TEST KIT).

2. Determine the present alkalinity value expressed as ppm CaCO₃ .

3. Consult the test result table,as shown in the MARICHEM ALKALINITY TEST KIT (or WT ALKA TEST KIT) manual, this will advise on dosage per ton needed, to reach the desired level of 100-150 ppm as CaCO₃.

4. A control test for the alkalinity of the water should be conducted after 3-6 hours from the application.

C. Feeding Procedure

Low-Pressure Boilers (up to 28 bars)

Dissolve the desired volume of ALKALINITY CONTROL into 5 litres of feed-water, which should then be passed through the recalculating or the main feed pipe into the stream or the hot well tank.

High-Pressure Boilers (28 to 60 bars)

Dissolve the desired volume of ALKALINITY CONTROL into 5 litres of feed-water, which then should be passed to the stream or water drum through the chemical pump.
