Boiler Scale Increases Fuel Costs
|
|
|
Take your fuel costs to run a new boiler and then allow boiler scale to accumulate to a thickness of a mere 1/10th of an inch (about the thickness of an American 5 cent piece) through improper water treatment and you will have bumped up your fuel costs by a whopping 20%! Add the costs of
repair and downtime in the case of heavily scaled boilers (1/4 inch of scale or more) and you are risking substantial Cash losses.

When Boiler is run without proper water treatment, then there is loss of plant life and increased the fuel cost. If this thing is run with this condition for long time (for 3-6 month) then you will find your boiler fuel cost is increased and your boiler shutdown for long maintenance required. In maintenance descaling of boiler, changing of tubes leakages of tubes and other many things. Which waste your time and loss your money.
