1. COMPANY PROFILE
HISTORY OF CULLIGAN
This document provides a brief overview of Culligan as a world leader in the water treatment industry
as well as its competence in the local market with specific focus on the after sales services including
maintenance & operations.
When Emmett J. Culligan founded the Culligan Zeolite Company in 1936, it was with the idea of
making conditioned water available to homeowners. He not only pioneered new water treatment
methods, but based his business on a service model and established a network of franchises, a
strategy that helped the company grow far beyond the Northbrook, IL community where it was
founded.
With the founding of the company came the Culligan brand, one that has grown from local word-of-
mouth acknowledgement to national recognition, thanks to print ads premiering in Life Magazine in
1947 and radio commercials introducing Hey Culligan Man!® in 1958. As our recognition grew,
franchises expanded, and product lines broadened, we changed our name to reflect our growth, first
to Culligan, Inc. in 1952, followed by Culligan International Company in 1970.
In the years since, Culligan has evolved into a world leader, creating innovations that have helped
shape the water industry while setting standards for quality improvement and customer service.
Culligan has over 80 years of experience as a global provider of end-to-end water treatment
solutions for a variety of industries—including food and beverage, oil and gas, energy and power,
healthcare/hospitals/bio-pharmaceutical, manufacturing and municipal drinking water. From the
water used in oil field steam injection, to the high-purity water used in pharmaceutical production—
Culligan answers the distinct needs of industrial customers with an individualized approach through
on-site surveys, analysis and service.
Culligan knows your individual needs cannot change to suit an "off-the-shelf" water treatment
system. This inspired the revolutionary modular platform of Culligan C&I Solutions, designed to
address your particular water treatment concerns within your budget, time frame, and sustainability
goals.
Culligan has manufacturing units in USA, Italy & Dubai. The Italy & Dubai factory are mainly catering
Europe, Middle East & African markets.
• Largest distribution network in the industry servicing 90 countries
• Network of 900 Culligan locations
• Installed base of over 3 million homes / offices
CULLIGAN EMEA (EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA)
Culligan Italiana is the European head quarter having the manufacturing bases in Bologna, Italy
and Techno-park, Dubai, UAE.
Culligan Italiana was established in 1960 as a licensee of Culligan, USA. Initially Culligan Italiana’s
main activities were the nationwide distribution of small household water softeners imported from
the USA. But the company began to expand its know-how and its radius of operations gradually
covering the entire range of possible water treatments, developing specific, original technologies
for many applications, and eventually becoming as important manufacturing centre.
The basis of Culligan philosophy has always been the idea only a global approach to the problems
of water, from its intake from the environment to its return to nature, would be able to offer intelligent
farsighted solutions for the exploitation of this fundamental resource.
Culligan Italiana was taken over by Culligan USA in 1969, and since then it has played primary role
within the group, becoming the largest European Production centre, and handling distribution of the
range of products for the water supply and industrial market for European, Middle Eastern and
Mediterranean markets.
In 2014 Culligan Middle East opened a new Manufacturing facility in the Techno-park area of
Dubai. This 10,000m2 site is a purpose-built, integrated manufacturing, sales and service
centre, including facilities for equipment fabrication, chemical blending and water bottling.
Culligan Middle East, Dubai is ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified company.

2.5 WATER SOFTENERS
WATER SOFTENING
SOFTENING IS THE REMOVAL OF HARDNESS FROM WATER. REMOVAL IS OBTAINED THROUGH
THE EXCHANGE OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM IONS WITH SODIUM, WHICH DO NOT FORM
DEPOSITS OR SCALE. RAW WATER IS PASSED THROUGH A LAYER OF RESIN PREVIOUSLY LOADED
WITH SODIUM, USING SODIUM CHLORIDE. CULLIGAN’S CULLEX FOOD-GRADE EXCHANGE RESIN
IS HIGHLY RESISTANT TO MECHANICAL WEAR, LONG-LASTING, AND SALT-EFFICIENT.
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE CAN ALSO BE USED FOR RESIN REGENERATION, FOR SUITABLE
APPLICATIONS.

DOMESTIC DRINKING
WATER AND SMALL
COMMUNITIES
The BIO-UV reactors in the UV HOME and IBP ranges are used to :
- make raw water coming from local drinkable resources (wells, boreholes, catchments etc.)
- make water in the system safe to drink, particularly after dechlorination using active charcoal
- make recycled rainwater safe for domestic use only
BIO-UV reactors ensure that the water complies with bacteriological quality limits (in accordance with the Order
dated 25/12/2003) and complies with the Ministry of Health’s directive concerning UV treatment. Prior filtration may be
necessary.
PRINCIPLE
The sun emits invisible light: ultraviolet light. This natural phenomenon is reproduced inside the reactors in the BIO-UV
Group’s ranges using powerful lamps, result of leading-edge technology, that emit UV-C rays.
At 254 nanometers, the optimum wavelength for destroying micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, algae, yeasts, mould...), the
UV-C rays penetrate to the heart of DNA and disturb the metabolism of cells until they are totally destroyed. All germs are
thus desactivated (including Legionella and Cryptosporidium) and cannot reproduce.

MUNICIPAL DRINKING
WATER SUPPLIES
The BIO-UV reactors in the IAM range have been developed to meet the most stringent requirements for the production
of drinking water.They can be used to disinfect raw water (from wells, catchment systems etc.) and guarantee that water
bacteriological quality limits are met in accordance with the Order dated 25/12/2003, before distribution in public drinking
water systems.They can also be used in pre-treatment, either to reduce the use of oxidizing biocidal agents and, therefore,
the by-products of oxidation, or to treat specific micro-organisms (particularly Cryptosporidium and Giardia).

2.9 AERATION TOWER
AERATION TOWERS
CULLIGAN AERATION TOWERS ARE DESIGNED TO REDUCE, THROUGH FORCED DRAFT AERATION,
THE CONCENTRATION OF DISSOLVED GAS IN WATER. FORCED AERATION OXIDIZES WATER AND
REMOVES GASES SUCH AS METHANE (CH4), CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE
(H2S). DEGASSERS ARE INSTALLED ABOVE WATER COLLECTING TANKS AND ARE EQUIPPED WITH
A SPECIAL FLANGE FOR EASY INSTALLATION.
MATERIALS
Aeration towers models 400, 600, 1000 and 1400 external corrosion protection using polyurethane
are entirely manufactured in polypropylene (PP), paint.
while model 1800 is in high grade carbon steel, Packing rings for all models are in polypropylene
with a food-grade epoxy resins internal lining and (PP).
OPERATION
Aeration towers are equipped with electric fans that A specially designed device at the base of the
force air from the bottom towards the fine water aeration tower prevents air from dispersing
droplets falling from the top, thereby separating gas towards the water collecting tank.
from water which is expelled through a vent.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The efficiency of aeration towers can be improved • SPRAY NOZZLES: designed for maximum water
with the following optional accessories, which are nebulization, are installed on the inlet distributor.
available for all models:
• DROP-STOP FILTERS: reduces the amount of
water carried over by the air stream and are
installed just prior to the gas outlet.

2.10 REVERSE OSMOSIS
REVERSE OSMOSIS
REVERSE OSMOSIS (THE ACRONYM R.O. IS COMMONLY USED) IS THE PROCESS OF FORCING
WATER FROM A COMPARTMENT OF HIGH SALT CONCENTRATION THROUGH SEMIPERMEABLE
MEMBRANES TO A COMPARTMENT OF LOWER SALT CONCENTRATION.
OSMOTIC MEMBRANES ARE THE FINEST FILTERS ACTING AS A BARRIER FOR SALTS AND
ORGANICS WITH MOLECULAR WEIGHT ABOVE 100 DALTON, AND ARE AN OUTSTANDING
PROTECTION AGAINST MICRO-POLLUTANTS, PESTICIDES, PYROGENS, VIRUSES AND BACTERIA.
REVERSE OSMOSIS IS A PHYSICAL PROCESS, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE CHEMICALS’ USE.
THE REVERSE OSMOSIS PROCESS IS VERY SIMPLE AND RELIABLE, AND IN RECENT YEARS THE
AVAILABLE MEMBRANES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO GIVE A LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
MEMBRANES ARE OF HIGH QUALITY AND RELIABILITY, ALSO FOR SPECIFIC WATER APPLICATION.

Title TB-L03 - Treatment of Chilled Water
Systems Using Corro Guard 33L01
Introduction Corro Guard 33L01 is a multifunctional corrosion inhibitor based on sodium
nitrite, along with other inhibitors and pH buffers.
Sodium nitrite is an oxidizing anodic inhibitor that has been in use for many years.
[1] [2]
, With the present high cost of molybdate, nitrite is often the most effective
and least expensive option for controlling low carbon steel corrosion when no
other factors prevent its use. Nitrite functions by promoting the formation of a
passive γ-Fe2O3 (gamma iron oxide) film by the following reaction: [3], [4]
4Fe + 3NO2- + 3H+ → 2γ-Fe2O3 + NH3 + N2
Oxidizing corrosion inhibitors, such as chromate and nitrite, react directly with
the metal surface to achieve a passive film on the metal, and require no oxygen
to be present in the water. They are therefore very effective in closed systems.
The standard inhibitor in this category, sodium nitrite, has been used to inhibit
corrosion of mild steel for many years [5], [6] in neutral or alkaline aqueous
solutions. Nitrite is the only remaining anodic oxidizing inhibitor that can still be
used, since chromate is highly toxic and has a poor environmental profile.
Dosage Rate The recommended dosage depends on the water source. For a given system, the
required dose will depend on the concentration of aggressive ions (i.e., chloride
and sulphate ions) and the system temperature. Sulphate ions interfere to a
greater extent with corrosion protection by nitrite than do chloride ions.
A recommendation based on aggressive ion content is that for low levels of
aggressive ions, the mg/L sodium nitrite should equal the mg/L chloride ion plus
mg/L sulphate ion plus 250 to 500 mg/L NaNO2 [3],[7].
Therefore, closed loop systems with high purity makeup waters (i.e. with chloride
+ sulphate concentrations below 10 mg/l), the nitrite concentration would be
from 250 to 500 mg/l NaNO2.
For closed loop systems with desalinated makeup waters, the chloride + sulphate
concentration is typically between 50 mg/l and 150 mg/l. So the safe
concentration range is 450 to 700 mg/l NaNO2. Given a full makeup water
analysis, including sulphate and chloride, a more precise recommendation can be
given.
Dosage rates for chilled loops will tend to be at the low end of the range, while
doses for hot loops will fall at the high end of the range, since corrosion increases
with temperature. As with all anodic inhibitors, under-dosing of nitrite can cause
severe pitting, as the corrosion is concentrated on the unprotected metal. Too
little nitrite can be worse than no nitrite at all.
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
From a mild steel corrosion inhibition point of view, there is no reason to set an
upper limit for nitrite concentration. However, at high concentrations it can
harden rubber gaskets and form abrasive crystals at evaporation sites, wearing
seals and valves. For that reason it is good industry practice to set an upper limit
of 1,500 mg/L NaNO2.
TDS & A buffered inhibitor dosed give 1,000 mg/l of sodium nitrite generates
approximately 1,750 µS/cm electrical conductivity when dissolved in water. Care
Conductivity must be taken when converting this figure to total dissolved solids (TDS)– the
normal conversion factor installed on TDS meters is 0.7, whereas the factor for
buffered nitrite inhibitors is between 0.55 and 0.60 due to the predominance of
sodium ions.
The conductivity and TDS of the treated water will also be affected by the quality
of the raw water. Desalinated raw waters may contribute between 100 and 200
µS/cm of conductivity (approximately 70 to 140 mg/l TDS).
Microbial Nitrite is compatible with glycol systems and commonly used non-oxidizing
biocides. An inadequacy of nitrite treatment is the propensity to promote
Control microbiological growth. This will be more of a concern in chilled loops than in hot
loops, since bacteria will not grow at temperatures exceeding 60°C [8]. Nitrifying
bacteria will oxidize nitrite to nitrate, while denitrifying bacteria will reduce
nitrite to either nitrogen gas or ammonia: [9]
NO2- + 5H+ + 6e- → NH3 + 2OH-
As can be seen from this reaction, this will often be accompanied by a rise in pH.
In addition to the loss of protection as a result of the loss of nitrite, nitrate is also
a nutrient for bacteria, whereas ammonia is aggressive to some yellow metals.
Diligent use of a non-oxidizing biocide regime is imperative when using a nitrite
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
program. Some commonly used non-oxidizing biocides are glutaraldehyde,
isothiazolones and trisnitro, [tris(hydromethylnitromethane)]. Trisnitro is
particularly effective at higher pH and against nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.
Often, the use of multiple non-oxidizing biocides provides best results.
Conversely, oxidizing biocides should not be used with nitrite treatments, since
they will oxidize nitrite ions to nitrate ions.
Air Ingress Air ingress can also oxidize nitrite ions to nitrate ions:
2NO2- + O2 → 2NO3-
Therefore, in systems having much air ingress, higher levels of nitrite may be
needed, making biological control more difficult.
pH Control The primary metallurgies used in chilled water systems are mild steel and copper
alloys. These metals require a pH range of 8.5 to 10.5.
Aluminium prefers a neutral pH range for optimum protection – see “non-ferrous
metals” above.
Monitoring Monitoring of closed loops entails verifying that the treatment program is
meeting the goals for corrosion, deposits, microbiological activity, and
product/treatment level.
A simple and effective technique to follow corrosion trends is to measure iron
and copper concentrations in the closed loop fluid. As system metal corrodes, it
goes into the fluid. Although it is present in a precipitated form, the metal
concentration in the water does serve as a good trend indicator of what is
happening. While it does not tell what is causing corrosion, it does provide a
quick indication of when things begin to go wrong or confirmation that the
program is continuing to meet agreed upon standards.

Title TB-C03 – How Cooling Water Biocides
Work
Introduction An understanding of the mechanisms of the biocides can often give an insight
into the proper use of the biocides, and can be a useful tool in troubleshooting
problems. Cooling water biocides can be classified based on their mechanism of
action (MOA). The four classes are:
For this reason, many of our new biocides are based on synergistic blends of
active ingredients, designed to perform better and more reliably when used
alone or in conjunction with each other.
Synergistic BIO GUARD 40H01 is a mixture of two electrophiles – glutaraldehyde and mixed
isothiazolines. These will literally bombard the chemistry inside microbial cells.
Biocide They are also unaffected by the slime formed by some bacteria, so this makes
Formulations BIO GUARD 40H01 an excellent slime buster. It will give great results when used
in conjunction with an oxidizing biocide or as an alternating biocide regime with a
quat, polyquat or BIO GUARD 40H14.

BIO GUARD 40H14 is a mixture of an electrophile (bronopol) and a lytic
compound (didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride or DDAC). The bronopol attacks
the inside of the microbe, while the DDAC disrupts the cell wall. It is very difficult
for microbes to build a resistance to such a combined attack. In addition, the
surface active properties of the DDAC will help to keep surfaces clean and break
slimes. BIO GUARD 40H14 will be particularly effective when used as part of an
alternating biocide program with BIO GUARD 40H01 or BIO GUARD 40H06.

Title TB-B05 - Water Treatment for Humidification
Systems
Introduction Water is added to building air systems in order to prevent human nostrils, throats
and eyes from becoming dry, to prevent furniture & artefacts from drying out,
and in a computer environment to prevent static electricity. The systems that are
most commonly used for this purpose include electric steam humidifier systems,
air washer humidifier systems, and steam humidifier boiler systems. The water
treatment practices that are utilised to prevent excessive scale & corrosion in
these systems are outlined herein.
Electric Steam The basic components of an electric steam humidifier system consist of a
disposable canister with integral electrodes, and an electrical power source.
Humidifier Water is boiled in the canister and the steam that is produced is directed to the
Systems air handling system, leaving the minerals that were dissolved in the water as
deposits in the canister. As the mineral deposits build up in the canister, steam
production is reduced and ultimately stops, at which time the canister is replaced
with a fresh one.
Water treatment is not required for these systems; however, proper operation of
the automatic flushing action of the water in the canister will extend their useful
operating time. Softening of the feedwater to these systems is not recommended
because the corrosive property of hot soft water would result in excessive
corrosion of the electrodes.
Air Washer The basic components of an air washer humidifier system consist of a media (i.e.
pre-formed paper or plastic modules, or heating/cooling coils), a circulating pump
Humidifier and a water supply. As their name implies, these systems not only humidify the
Systems air, they also wash dirt & debris out of the air.
There are two different types of air washer humidifier systems - namely the once
through type and the re-circulating type. In both types of systems, the media/coil
is saturated with water, the water is transferred from the media/coil into the air
stream by evaporation, and the minerals that were dissolved in the water are
deposited onto the media/coil. Softening of the feedwater to these systems is not
recommended because the soft scale deposit that would be produced would be
carried away from the media and into the building by the air handling system.
The use of hard water produces a hard scale deposit which tends to adhere
locally onto the media.
In the once through type of air washer humidifier system, water is directed to the
top of the media and allowed to flow downward over the media, flushing most of

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
the mineral deposits from the media to drain. Water treatment is not required
for these systems; however, control of the water flow will improve their
operation. That is, during operation, the water flow to the top of the media
should be just enough to saturate the media, thus promoting mineral deposition
only onto the media.
Excessive water flow must be avoided as it will result in water “throw” and
mineral deposition onto other parts of the system such as fan blades.
When an excessive amount of mineral deposits have built up on the media, the
fan should be shut-off, and a full water flow should be directed to the top of the
media until the mineral deposits are washed off the media to drain.
In the re-circulating type of air washer humidifier system, water is pumped from
a basin, and onto the media/coil via spray nozzles. Excess water trickles down the
media/coil and back into the basin. The water that is lost from the system
through evaporation and bleed-off is replaced with fresh water addition to the
basin via a float valve. Water treatment is required for these systems because of
the increased mineral content in the re-cycled water. A typical water treatment
program consists of chemical addition and monitoring. Chemical treatment
involves the addition of a scale inhibitor/dispersant (e.g. TOTAL GUARD 20C11)
and dual, alternating non-oxidising biocides for bacteria control (e.g. BIO GUARD
40H06 and BIO GUARD 40H08).
The use of an oxidising biocide such as sodium hypochlorite must be avoided for
these systems because this type of chemical decomposes the glue that holds the
media together. Water samples of the basin water must be taken regularly for
routine chemical and bacteriological testing.
Steam The basic component of a steam humidifier boiler system consists of a steam
boiler or steam generator. There are two different types of steam humidifier
Humidifier systems:
Boiler Systems 1. The combined heating/humidifier steam boiler system, which has a
condensate return system.
2. Dedicated steam humidifier boiler, which normally does not have a
condensate return system.
In both types of system, the steam that is produced in the boiler is directed to the
air handling system. The feedwater for these systems must be softened in order
to prevent scale formation in the boiler.
Water treatment is required for these systems in order to prevent scale
formation and corrosion of the boiler, and corrosion of the condensate return
system. A typical water treatment program consists of chemical addition and
monitoring. Chemical treatment involves the addition of phosphate and caustic
for scale control and sodium sulphite for corrosion control. It may also include an
amine for condensate corrosion control – more about this later. For small
systems, Total Guard 16B02 offers a one-drum product containing all of the

necessary components. Total Guard 16B02 is in com liance with the nited

ater dditives It contains no volatile components (hence the
compliance to the US FDA regulations mentioned above), and is therefore safe
for use in steam generators where the steam is used for direct humidification.
Boiler water, feedwater & condensate samples must be tested daily.
Use of Facility engineers and managers face a myriad of challenges, from providing a
safe and comfortable workplace for building occupants to maximizing the service
Neutralising life and efficiency of their facility’s HV system t times, their response to
Amines maintaining their operating system seemingly puts the building engineer or
owner at odds with the safety and health of building occupants. Building owners
and operators face such an apparent dilemma when their system uses boiler
steam for direct humidification.
The steam/condensate system is subject to corrosion due primarily to the
presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the steam. CO2 is produced when carbonate
and bicarbonate alkalinities in boiler feedwater thermally decompose in the
boiler. Carbon dioxide is driven off as a gas and is carried with the steam. It then
dissolves in the condensate to form carbonic acid, which causes corrosion in
condensate piping, receivers and traps. If not addressed, this corrosion will result
in severe damage to the entire condensate system, and corrosion by-products
will be carried back to cause fouling and deposition in the feedwater tank and
boiler.
Fortunately, this problem is readily prevented through the use of condensate
corrosion inhibiting chemicals called neutralizing amines. Neutralizing amines are
volatile alkaline compounds that are added to the boiler water, where they flash
off and are carried with the steam and carbon dioxide. When the steam
condenses, the amines neutralize the resulting carbonic acid, raising the pH of
the condensate and preventing corrosion to the condensate system.
This sounds simple enough, but the dilemma appears when amine-treated steam
is used for direct humidification of human occupied space. Since the amines are
volatile, some amount may be present in the humidified air supply. The amines
commonly used in direct steam humidification systems have been implicated,
based on anecdotal evidence, in the occurrence of various upper respiratory and
eye irritations.
Such an indoor air quality (IAQ) issue is an anathema to facility managers.
Most of the publicity about this issue in North America has come from an
investigation by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
into incidents at Cornell University in 1982 and Cincinnati Electronics Corp. in
1998. In both cases, which involved complaints of eye, nose and throat irritations,
amine-treated steam was used in direct humidification of occupied space. While
no conclusive evidence was presented that the amines used caused the

S OLUTIONS
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
problems, NIOSH recommended against the use of neutralizing amines in these
types of systems.
So engineering, maintenance and management personnel who have direct steam
humidification systems are faced with difficult questions. Do they eliminate the
use of amines in their system, knowing that costly damage due to corrosion will
result? Do they continue the use of amines, blindly hoping that no occupant
health issues arise? Or do they look at purchasing expensive alternate means of
humidification that don’t use direct boiler steam?
If time and money are available, the third option – alternate means of
humidification, such as steam-to-steam heat exchangers or stand-alone
humidifiers – is a viable solution to the problem. However, this option is time
consuming and expensive, and many cash-and time-strapped managers will reject
it on that basis. Most engineering managers will not be enthusiastic about the
other two options – the first puts their equipment at risk; the second potentially
exposes building occupants to harmful or irritating chemicals in the humidified
air.
Fortunately, there is another option. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental and
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) have established permissible exposure limits (PELs)
for the three most commonly used amines - morpholine, cyclohexylamine and
diethylaminoethanol (DEAE). The PELs for these chemicals are based on an 8-
hour day and 40-hour week. The PELs for the three chemicals are:
Morpholine 20 ppm
Cyclohexylamine 10 ppm
DEAE 10 ppm
Studies have shown that, when these amines are added to boiler water at levels
normally required to prevent condensate system corrosion, the amine level in
steam-humidified air will be several orders of magnitude below the PEL for the
amine. For example, in one study where DEAE and cyclohexylamine were
evaluated, the levels in the steam leaving the boiler were 5.33 and 2.93 ppm for
DEAE and cyclohexylamine, respectively. In a room in which this steam was used
to humidify the air to 61% relative humidity, the air-borne DEAE and
cyclohexylamine levels were 0.0024 and 0.008 ppm respectively. In another study
involving the use of morpholine, the level of morpholine in the steam was
incrementally increased to 64.8 ppm, a level far in excess of that required for
condensate system corrosion inhibition. The corresponding air-borne morpholine
level in the humidified air was 0.018 ppm, again far below the PEL for that amine.
With careful monitoring of water chemistry, along with direct testing for amine
levels in the humidified air space, operators of steam humidification systems can
be assured that room air amine levels will be well below that necessary to cause
adverse effects in humans. Facility engineers and managers should consult a

173.310) when dosed at no more than 55 parts per million based on steaming
rate. This regulation covers boiler water additives that may be safely used in the
preparation of steam that will contact food.
Corro Guard 14B02 contains only morpholine and cyclohexylamine as its active
ingredients. When dosed at 55ppm, the concentrations of both amines in the
steam would be less than 10ppm – i.e. within their permissible exposure limits
(PELs). When diluted with air in the space being humidified, their concentrations
would fall even further.
From the above it can be concluded that Corro Guard 14B02 can be considered
safe for use in steam humidification systems, provided the dose rate does not
exceed 55ppm based on the steaming rate.

Title TB-B06 - High Pressure Boiler
Treatment using Co-ordinated
pH/Phosphate
Introduction High pressure boilers using demineralised makeup water generally have a large
percentage of condensate returns and high heat flux areas. It is these conditions
more than the operating pressure that make high pressure boilers prone to
caustic embrittlement; it is imperative, therefore, that they receive special
treatment.
Hydroxide is the predominant anion in the relatively pure water found in high
pressure boilers. This will dissolve the protective magnetite layer on the metal
surface when highly concentrated..
This can happen in several ways. One of the most common of which is caused by
iron oxide deposits on the radiant wall tubes, which are often quite porous, and
can act as miniature boilers; water containing impurities is drawn into the iron
oxide deposit, and when heat is applied it is converted to steam which passes
back out through the deposit under pressure; in this way, a ‘boiler within a boiler’
is created, and the water within it can become very highly concentrated indeed -
it is possible to have 100,000 ppm of caustic beneath the deposit, while the
concentration in the main body of the water is only 5-10ppm (See figure 1).
Figure 1
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
In demineralised water there are very few other anions, such as phosphate,
nitrate or sulphate to protect the magnetite film.
The problems can be prevented by using a treatment regime known as Co-
ordinated Phosphate/pH control. Phosphate is a superb pH buffer, and this
property is used in this programme to limit the localised over-concentration of
sodium hydroxide. Excess sodium hydroxide combines with disodium phosphate
and forms trisodium phosphate. For the programme to work, it is important to
have sufficient disodium phosphate available to achieve this properly.
The hydrolysis of trisodium phosphate is often used to explain the mechanism of
a Co-ordinated pH/ phosphate programme. The reaction is as follows
Trisodium phosphate is the least soluble of the three and precipitates first.
Consequently, when an equal molar mixture of sodium hydroxide and disodium
phosphate is evaporated to dryness, only trisodium phosphate remains - not
sodium hydroxide and disodium phosphate.
The restriction is that the sodium hydroxide molar ratio must be less than, or
equal to the disodium phosphate molar ratio. In boilers having a high
concentration of bicarbonate (NaHCO3) alkalinity in the feed water, it may be
necessary to control a co-ordinated phosphate programme on a sodium to
phosphate molar ratio. In this case, the sodium concentration is measured and
controlled equal to or less than three times the phosphate molar concentration.
The sodium carbonate concentration is important because beneath the iron
dioxide deposit build-up, or any area of over-concentration, further
decomposition of carbonate can occur than occurs in a bulk boiler water. This
will cause the formation of additional sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide,
which will pass out of the area of over-concentration with the steam.
Dispersants Co-ordinated pH/phosphate programmes are normally set up to take this into
account, and are maintained between 2.8 and 2.6 molar ratios of sodium to
phosphate.
The use of dispersants, such as DEPOSIT GUARD 13B03 will significantly improve
the performance of such a programme in terms of deposition. The ability to
reduce iron oxide accumulations is an important requirement in the treatment of
boiler systems operating at high pressures with high purity feedwater; under such
circumstances, iron oxide originating from corrosion of the external system
becomes a major constituent of deposit problems unless properly recognised and
treated accordingly.
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Prevention of At low pressures, embrittlement can be prevented by the use of nitrate. At
higher pressures, the method usually employed is co-ordinated phosphate/pH
Emrittlement control. When this type of treatment is properly controlled, embrittling
tendencies are eliminated by preventing high concentrations of “free” sodium
hydroxide in the boiler water.
Figure 2
Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between pH, phosphate and “free” caustic
areas. To ensure the absence of “free” sodium hydroxide and the absence of any
alkalinity other than from trisodium phosphate, it is necessary to keep the pH
below the Control Boundary as shown.

as

AMP

and
Morpholine
are
examples
of
such
a
neutralising
amines
which,
because
of
their

are

AMP
has
a
number
of
advantage
over
morpholine,
namely;
a) It
is
more
efficient
at
neutralising
CO2
(see
Figure
3
and
Table
1).
b) It
absorbs
more
CO2
than
morpholine
(see
Tables

and

c) AMP,
like
morpholine,
does
not
form
an

This
fact,
combined
with
its

is
of

merit
in

So

The

The

Therefore
the

form
a

which

the

They
also

For
this
reason,

When
