Boiler systems are critical to industrial operations, but they are vulnerable to corrosion caused by dissolved oxygen in feedwater. Oxygen in boiler water reacts with metal surfaces, leading to pitting, scaling, and premature equipment failure. Without proper treatment, these issues can result in reduced efficiency, increased maintenance costs, and potential system downtime.
ETI provides advanced oxygen scavenger solutions that effectively remove dissolved oxygen from boiler feedwater, protecting equipment and extending the life of the system. Our oxygen scavengers prevent metal deterioration, optimize heat transfer efficiency, and help maintain consistent and reliable boiler performance.
Oxygen corrosion is one of the leading causes of boiler tube failure and inefficiency in steam-generating systems. Even trace amounts of dissolved oxygen can lead to:
Pitting corrosion, which weakens metal surfaces and leads to leaks.
Scaling and deposits, reducing heat transfer and increasing fuel costs.
Reduced boiler efficiency, leading to higher energy consumption.
Increased maintenance and downtime, disrupting operations and raising costs.
Implementing an effective oxygen scavenger treatment program is essential for protecting boiler system components, ensuring long-term reliability, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
ETI offers a range of oxygen scavenger formulations to meet the needs of our water treatment partners responsible for managing different boiler systems and operating conditions. Our products are designed to efficiently eliminate dissolved oxygen and prevent corrosion-related failures.
Sulfite-Based Oxygen Scavengers
Rapidly reacts with dissolved oxygen to form harmless sulfates.
Ideal for low- and medium-pressure boilers operating at moderate temperatures.
Works in conjunction with internal boiler water treatment programs.
DEHA (Diethylhydroxylamine) Oxygen Scavengers
Volatile treatment that protects both feedwater and steam condensate systems.
Provides passivation of metal surfaces, preventing further corrosion.
Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature boiler systems.
Erythorbate-Based Oxygen Scavengers
Environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sulfite-based treatments.
Enhances metal passivation without contributing to sulfate buildup.
Ideal for facilities requiring low-sulfate or food-grade boiler treatment.
Hydrazine Alternatives for High-Pressure Boilers
Non-toxic formulations designed to replace traditional hydrazine treatments.
Provides long-term corrosion protection while reducing environmental risks.
Suitable for applications where volatile oxygen scavengers are required.
