We inspect your boiler inside and out using fiber-optic technology, then deliver a detailed e-report covering all findings and recommended next steps.
Chardon Laboratories provides comprehensive boiler water treatment services to maintain smooth plant operations. Leveraging the right tools, technology and a highly trained team, our tailored water treatment solutions enhance boiler efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Our services benefit a wide range of industries, including manufacturers, healthcare facilities, breweries and food processing centers.
Boiler water treatment is critical in maintaining reliable industry operations and safeguarding equipment integrity. Treating boiler water is a complex process that can result in plant managers facing issues such as:
Scale buildup and corrosion cause the majority of efficiency losses and unplanned downtime in industrial boiler systems. Both are preventable with the right treatment program.
Boiler scale buildup occurs when dissolved minerals, including calcium, silica and magnesium, crystallize and harden onto heat transfer surfaces. For example, 0.4 millimeters of scale can reduce efficiency by 5% while 2.4 millimeters can increase that loss to 15%. As efficiency falls, the boiler burns more fuel to reach the same output, raising operating costs and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Our boiler water treatment process addresses scale through controlled blowdown, polymer dispersants and phosphate-based scale inhibitors and conductivity monitoring. When scale is present, we remove it before implementing a preventive program to maintain clean heat transfer surfaces.
Dissolved oxygen is the primary driver of boiler corrosion. At higher operating temperatures, oxygen reacts with iron surfaces, causing pitting and gradual metal degradation. Left unmanaged, the results are tube leaks, unplanned repairs and safety concerns for plant personnel.
Our corrosion inhibitor boiler treatment programs focus on using the right oxygen scavengers for your system, from sulfite-based compounds to organic options like DEHA and carbohydrazide. Alkaline builders manage pH to maintain the conditions needed for safe, efficient boiler operation and extended equipment life.
Consider scheduling a professional boiler evaluation if any of the following warning signs describe your facility:
“I have been extremely happy with the service provided by Chardon Laboratories. Domonic has been very helpful with all aspects of our systems, especially concerning Cooling Towers. My hope is that we can continue to keep working together for a…
Our four-step approach is designed to help protect your equipment, lower operating costs and give your team full visibility into system performance:
We inspect your boiler inside and out using fiber-optic technology, then deliver a detailed e-report covering all findings and recommended next steps.
Our experts test boiler, makeup and feedwater samples for scale-forming minerals, dissolved oxygen, biological growth, chlorides and other contaminants affecting output and longevity.
Test results drive the plan. We select the right scale inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, alkaline builders and blowdown protocols for your water chemistry and operating demands.
All services are contracted at a transparent annual rate with no hidden fees. Chemicals are delivered directly, and a same-day e-report follows every visit, giving your team an accurate picture of system health.
When a boiler runs below its rated efficiency, the cost implications can appear in your fuel invoice and with each unplanned repair. We serve manufacturers, healthcare facilities and breweries across multiple locations with programs that help reduce those costs and keep equipment running longer.
Our services are backed by various capabilities:
