Boiler Treatment
Case Studies
 SOLUS AP:
A GENERAL MANUFACTURING CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A low pressure firetube boiler system
had been having recurring issues with
their pretreatment sodium zeolite
softeners. Feedwater in excess of 1
ppm CaCO3 had been used regularly
and the boiler tubes were badly scaled
with hardness deposits.
Before Solus AP
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
Veolia recommended conversion of the
customer’s internal treatment program
to Solus AP chemistry. The new
treatment was applied at normal
dosage for 6 months before the boiler
was opened for inspection.
When inspected, the boiler showed
clear signs of ongoing removal of
deposit.
With Solus AP
VALUE GENERATION
Boiler tube scale can inhibit heat
transfer and promote under deposit
corrosion. A deposit layer of only 1/32
inch (less than 1 mm) can represent
2% in fuel efficiency losses. In this
case, fuel savings were estimated at
$100,000 per year.
18
 OPTISPERSE HTP:
CHEMICAL PROCESSING CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A large chemical plant was experiencing
boiler tube failures contributing to loss of
chemical production and electricity.
Analysis of the boiler tubes confirmed
iron oxide deposits with a high deposit
weight density (DWD (~100 g/ft2) for the
1300 psi boilers.
HTP
Graph: Total Iron in Blowdown vs Time
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
The customer was not prepared to
conduct an off-line acid cleaning. An
alternative solution was proposed
using Veolia HTP chemistry. Upon
initiating treatment, the iron transport
sharply increased well beyond
100%. Subsequent inspections
showed cleaner boiler tubes the DWD
was reduced to less than 50 g/ft2.
Before HTP
After HTP
VALUE GENERATION
The site did not experience any boiler
failure since initiating HTP, leading to
over $3 MM/year savings that
unscheduled boiler shutdowns cost the
facility in production and electricity. In
this instance, expensive off-line acid
cleanings were also avoided.
19
 POLYAMINE:
A POWER PLANT CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A combined cycled power plant with 3
multi-drum HRSG (2000, 500 and 70
psig) was experiencing high iron throw at
start-ups and during continuous
operation.
Treatment consisted of PO4 program
with NH3/MEA targeting FW pH 9.4-9.8.
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
To reduce downtime corrosion and
iron transport at start-up and
continuous operation, Veolia
recommended applying Polyamine
filming technology.
Combined with organic neutralizing
amines, this treatment would allow to
lower the pH target while providing
better iron protection.
VALUE GENERATION
Within days of applying Polyamine, iron
levels observed at start-up and
continuous operation dropped by more
than 90%. The plant was able to
reduce gas turbine starts, lower
chemical usage and discontinue the
use of nitrogen for lay-ups, providing
cost savings and health and safety
benefits.
20
 STEAMATE LSA:
REFINERY CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A large refinery was having difficulty
achieving condensate corrosion control
in their expansive/complex steam
system. Additionally, the refinery was
concerned that the steam treatment
amines were impacting their ability to
control corrosion in their atmospheric
distillation tower.
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
Steamate LSA was introduced to
replace the current steam
treatment. Within a couple of weeks,
the condensate iron levels dropped
>80%.
Additionally, the atmospheric tower
salt points dramatically improved by
removing the higher salting amines.
VALUE GENERATION
The integrated approach to refinery
steam and process side corrosion led
to dramatic reliability improvement on
“both sides of the pipe”. In addition, the
refinery had the flexibility to maximize
distillate production and profits that
could be several million dollars/year.
21
 STEAMATE FM1007:
ORGANIC FOOD CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A large international cereal manufacturer
was experiencing significant condensate
system corrosion. The organic food lines
they were running precluded the use of
traditional steam condensate treatments,
including FDA approved amines.
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
Veolia proposed Steamate FM1007,
a patented and recently OMRI listed
steam condensate treatment to help
the plant manage corrosion and
feedwater/steam contamination.
VALUE GENERATION
The Steamate FM1007 worked
extremely well, dropping the corrosion
rate significantly. The iron levels in the
feedwater are now acceptable and
within ASME guidelines, ensuring the
reliability of the boiler and production
schedule. The treatment was
duplicated to two sister plants with
success.
22
 VALUE GENERATION:
PULP & PAPER CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
A Pulp Mill supplying 350KT/yr of
bleached soft wood pulp approached
Veolia in order to help them identify total
cost of operation savings opportunities at
the boiler house.
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
The Veolia investigation highlighted
numerous issues surrounding the
demineralization system, namely poor
resin quality and improper regeneration
procedure, causing improper feedwater
quality, steam purity upsets and turbine
silica deposition.
VALUE GENERATION
$400K/yr was saved through
demineralizer resin replacement and
regeneration optimization. More
importantly, silica upsets were eliminated,
mitigating the risk of turbine scaling and
maintaining peak performance.
23
 CONTROL OPTIMIZATION:
BOILER PRECISION SYSTEM
CHALLENGE
A Kraft Pulp Mill operating a black liquor
recovery boiler and a biomass boiler was
struggling with boiler treatment control
due to lack of performance of
demineralizers and a challenging
chemical dosage system
Boiler Treatment Capabilities
SOLUTION
Veolia revised the regeneration,
operation and maintenance program
of the demineralizers to ensure
optimal capacity and quality. The
Veolia Boiler Precision System, using
proprietary PaceSetter controller and
TrueSense analyzer was provided to
improve treatment control.
VALUE GENERATION
$300K/yr in savings were documented
from regenerant reduced usage,
increased demineralizer runlength, and
boiler chemical treatment optimization.
Other benefits include boiler
cleanliness, fuel usage reduction, water
savings and steam purity improvement
for the turbines.
