The purity requirements for any feed water depend on how much feed water is used as well as what the particular boiler design pressure heat transfer rate.
Effects if either of the values increases water will accordingly become acidic or alkaline leading to detrimental effects caused due to acidic attack or caustic embrittlement.
Maximum flow velocities in water systems water velocities in pipes and tubes should not exceed certain limits.

Parameters for boiler water.
In order for this reaction to take place it is important to maintain a ph at a minimum value of 9 50.
Parameters for cooling tower.
131 the internal treatment is for boiler feed water and external treatment is for make up feed water and the condensate part of the system.
Deposition from low less than 1 0 ppm hardness boiler feedwater is eliminated with chelant programs and can be reduced by up to 95 by a good polymer phosphate treatment program.
Feed water purity is a matter both of quantity of impurities and nature of impurities.

This value will limit the silica content of the steam to 0 25 ppm as a function of selective.
Phosphates are used to react with calcium hardness in the boiler water.

Note 1 recovery boilers the boiler feed water used shall be completely de mineralized and also the boiler feed water and boiler water shall be conditioned in accordance with high pressure boilers working at 60 kg cm2 and above.
For boiler water ph is maintained between 11 11 8 and that of feed water between 7 9.
These are internal treatment and external treatment.
It is desirable to keep the concentration of phosphates in the water to 30 50 ppm in order for complete reaction of the phosphates with the calcium hardness entering the.
