Fireside boiler treatment is a necessary component for the prevention of fireside slag/deposition from fuel ash components, fireside corrosion, and cold end corrosion. ChemTreat’s fuel conditioner products consist primarily of organometallic formulations and help address problems associated with pre-combustion, combustion, and post-combustion.
Pre-combustion
In the pre-combustion area, water can create corrosion problems on storage tank surfaces and oil transfer lines and contribute to flameouts. To minimize the potential for water-related problems, ChemTreat has engineered fuel conditioners to emulsify water into the oil. We also offer fuel additives to control sludge formation, preventing problems associated with pumping, straining, plug oil preheaters, and burner tips.
Combustion
ChemTreat provides valuable catalysts to enhance combustion, thus reducing stack particulate (unburned carbon) emissions. Excessive stack emissions can create out-of-compliance situations, resulting in unfavorable publicity and/or fines for your plant. Left untreated, aesthetic problems with soot, smut, and other particulates building up on fireside surfaces can also occur, causing efficiency loss and potentially dangerous explosive conditions.
Post-Combustion
ChemTreat provides valuable catalysts to enhance combustion, thus reducing stack particulate (unburned carbon) emissions. Excessive stack emissions can create out-of-compliance situations, resulting in unfavorable publicity and/or fines for your plant. Left untreated, aesthetic problems with soot, smut, and other particulates building up on fireside surfaces can also occur, causing efficiency loss and potentially dangerous explosive conditions.
