Phosphate

PHOSPHATE is a highly soluble, powder compound significantly effective for the reduction of hardness and scale control in all types of boilers. The specific purpose is to remove all calcium hard salts by blow down to a non-consistent soft sludge, whilst maintaining a natural level of phosphate concentration in the boiler’s water. This way proper hardness regulation is assured.

Characteristics, Advantages & Applications

Highly soluble, unlike ordinary sodium phosphates that experience a low solubility at high temperatures.
Maintains a regular phosphate balance, resulting in efficient hardness control.
Removes calcium hardness by blow down.
Cost effective, easy to apply and use.

Physical Properties

PHOSPHATE is a dry powder product, which contains a selected sodium phosphate derivative especially formulated to provide efficient hardness control.

Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

Initially, for an average boiler of 10 ton water capacity, a quantity of 350-650 grs must be used.

It is important to note that no more than 100-250 grs of PHOSPHATE per 10 tons water capacity will ever be required on a daily basis, especially when the boiler operates with distilled water make-up.

B. Sampling and Testing

Water samples must be drawn and tested periodically, using the MARICHEM PHOSPHATE TEST KIT (or WT PHOSP TEST KIT). To determine if use of PHOSPHATE is required, please consult evaluation chart and dosing procedure below. Each sample should be taken every 24 hours from the special sampling valve. If this is not possible, the samples should be taken from a point which can provide a representative sample of the entire system. Keep in mind, that this same point must be used for the regular testing, thereafter.

C. Feeding Procedure

Once the quantity of PHOSPHATE necessary to apply has been determined, the engineer must dissolve it in hot water at a ratio of 1/20 (1 part of phosphate to 20 parts of water). Afterwards, feed to the boiler via a by-pass feeder or a chemical pressure feed pump. In the situation where several boilers are involved, separate feed lines must be installed for each one in order to ensure that every boiler receives the right quantity for treatment.
