We Can Handle All Your Boiler Treatment Needs

Boilers produce steam to maintain a specific temperature or heat water or air for comfort. They are critical to numerous industrial applications, so it’s wise for businesses that rely on them to enact a thorough maintenance program to protect against:

  • Corrosion: This reaction between the chemicals in the air and the water supply will cause corrosion. This kind of damage wears into the metal, causing pits that degrade the boiler’s mechanisms. Corrosion shortens the boiler’s lifespan and increases maintenance costs.
  • Scale: Scale is a deposit made when calcium, iron and silica impurities in the water concentrate onto the boiler’s tubes and panels.  Scale is insulating, preventing the boiler from transferring heat to the water. If a scale deposit sloughs off, it can interrupt the water flow and cause overheating and failure.

Customers recognize Chardon Labs as a reliable and experienced source of boiler water treatment services in Pennsylvania. After your free survey, we recommend the best blowdown, layup and passivation procedures to eliminate scale and caustic gouging. For harmful deposits that will eventually lead to corrosion, our technicians will use various chemical solutions to eradicate them before they can cause damage. Our water treatment solutions can also prevent the warping and rupture of boiler tubes.

    Boiler Chemical Treatment in Pennsylvania

    Your boiler is essential to multiple operations in your building, so  it must continue operating for as long and as efficiently as possible. Scale and corrosion can be two significant barriers to this goal. Boiler treatment chemicals resolve these issues through prevention and treatment.

    If your Pennsylvania-based company needs help with its boiler system and chemicals, turn to us. Chardon can help your business fight off scale and corrosion and ensure your system’s longevity with boiler chemical treatments. We have chemical solutions for:

    • Foam reduction: Steam can cause dissolved solids to foam, reducing the boiler’s efficiency. Antifoaming agents adjust the water’s surface tension to reduce the amount of foam generated.
    • pH control: Acidity can damage a boiler, so this neutralizer uses sodium hydroxide to reduce the acidity and protect the boiler.
    • Scale prevention: Phosphonate chemicals inhibit scale production by preventing solids from settling.
    • Oxygen Control: As oxygen can contribute to corrosion and scale buildup, we provide a chemical treatment that breaks down gasses to minimize its impact.
    • Corrosion prevention: This return line treatment ensures consistent pressure throughout so the metal can withstand corrosion. We have various blends available to suit particular needs, including food-safe systems.

    With our extensive experience in the field, ISO-certified technicians and professional equipment, Chardon has your boiler system covered. Contact us today to learn more about our boiler water treatment services and boiler chemicals in Pennsylvania!

    Choose Our Pennsylvania Water Treatment Company for Your Closed Loop Systems

    Closed loop systems for HVAC applications transfer heat by circulating water. They support heating, air conditioning and industrial processes. Leaks in refrigerant gas, chilled water or cooling tower water in a closed loop system can provide a pathway for contaminants that can foul the cooling water,  preventing efficient heat transfer and causing extensive damage to system components.

    Our closed loop water treatment services in Pennsylvania start with a test for conductance, corrosion inhibitors, iron, pH and bacteria to determine which services are best. We have many treatment options, including flushing, cleaning and targeted chemical treatment. These treatments will make the water less corrosive, preventing boiler damage. Our technicians can also perform preventative maintenance measures such as the following:

    By implementing regular preventative maintenance, we can make your closed loop system less susceptible to leakage and other common and potentially damaging issues. Reach out to learn more about our closed loop water treatment services!

    Legionella Testing Services for Pennsylvania

    Legionella, the Legionella pneumophila strain specifically, is a bacterium that grows in  wet and warm environments It is harmful to both equipment and human health. If a particle of Legionella is breathed in, it can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal illness. Cooling towers and similar systems have the ideal growing conditions for Legionella, so identifying and eradicating an outbreak quickly is crucial.

    Chardon is your Legionella testing and treatment expert. We can identify Legionella in your water supply and determine the best treatment options. All treatment plans follow the procedure outlined in Standard 188 from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), including documentation.

    HVAC Water Treatment Services

    HVAC systems for industrial and commercial facilities must meet particular heating and cooling requirements year-round. Because these setups are subject to high demand, arranging regular HVAC water treatments is important so the equipment doesn’t break down or become contaminated with microbiological growth, scale and corrosion. These factors can cause the HVAC system’s pipes to warp and rupture, and the condensate lines to leak.

    Chardon is an HVAC water treatment company that will use our expertise to protect your HVAC system. Our service is ideal for cooling towers used with a chiller to remove heat and boilers that create steam. Both systems are prone to corrosion and scale, so it’s essential to coordinate professional treatments to keep them in their best shape.

    After testing and inspection, we’ll know precisely what solutions you need. We have chemical treatments that address numerous issues, including corrosion and scale inhibitors, to prevent contamination. For corrosion, we can clean and flush your system to remove the impurities that pit metal.

Our technicians have the experience to know which applications are needed to reduce your water consumption, increase your efficiency and eliminate microbiological growth.
