Engineer's Guide To Marine Boiler Water Treatment & Testing
So what makes testing of boiler water so important? Well, boiler water abides
by certain parameters in order to protect the boiler (and other engine
compartments) from corrosion, as well as protect from a scaling deposit
formation. To check these parameters and adjust the water, engineers test
water samples regularly, using a testing kit which we discuss in the next
chapter.
To start this test, fill the 100ml beaker with sample water. Next, dissolve
chloride tabs one by one until the color of the water changes from yellow to
brown. Depending on the number of pills we use, we can then determine the
chloride concentration of the water (use the color indicator to determine the
levels).
When it comes to chloride concentration, there isn’t a “chemical treatment” to
reduce its levels in the vessel’s boiler water. If the concentration is too high, you
will simply need to blowdown and make sure that the replacing water has a
lower chloride concentration. This is heavily depended on feed water, which
comes from distilled water created in the fresh water generator.
