Boiler Water Treatment
CESTCHEM 2344
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CESTCHEM 2344 is a proprietary blend of metal sequestrant, chelant, inorganic polyphosphate and alkalinity builders. The program is used to soften water within a boiler to prevent scale formation by precipitating calcium hardness as desired sludge. The sequestrant and chelant combine stoichiometrically with all metal ions to produce a soluble metal complex, thus preventing scale deposition and also gradually remove existing scale. This product can be used preferentially with other polymer program to enhance its performance as scale inhibitor.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
CESTCHEM 2344 can be dissolved in water at any convenient dilution. The powder should be gradually added in small amount to the water while stirring. The resultant solution is fed to the pre-boiler section.
