Boiler Water Treatment

GCM Water understands the importance of steam generating systems and how they contribute to the customer’s bottom line. Good boiler operating practices means reduced costs and prolonged production times and increased profitability. GCM Water manufactures through its partners and supplies a wide range of Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals for variety of boilers of various operating pressure. These Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals are made from refined raw materials, latest manufacturing techniques and modern machines to ensure reliability of the product for the suitable application.

Years in the water treatment have taught us at GCM Water that there are four critical factors why boiler treatment is essential.

• Water contains dissolved salts, which upon evaporation of water form scale on the heat transfer surfaces causing overheating of tubes and eventual failure.
• Low pH and dissolved oxygen in the water cause corrosion which manifest as pitting, lowering the thickness of the boiler tubes, leading to rupture of the boiler tubes.
• High total dissolved salts in the boiler will reduce the solubility of some compounds such as carbonates and sulphates of calcium and magnesium causing deposit formation.
• Impurities carried over in the steam will cause deposit formation on turbine blades leading to reduced turbine efficiency, high vibrations, and blade failure.
• These contaminants can also cause erosion of turbine blades. Silica at higher operating pressures volatilizes and carries over to the turbine blades.

GCM Water thus provides chemicals, equipment and technology that ensure the efficient operation of boilers to prolong their life span, reduce maintenance costs and energy bills. The company provides;

• Both sulphite and volatile oxygen scavengers for different applications
• Solubilising and non-solubilising scale and corrosion inhibitors
• Condensate treatment
