Reducing Boiler Costs using Reverse Osmosis Pre-Treatment
If your steam boiler or hot water heating systems are not running at optimum efficiency then you could be wasting more money than you think. Inefficient boilers and poorly performing heating systems can result in higher fuel costs, lower thermal performance, more down-time and increased maintenance bills. However, it is possible to improve performance and reduce these costs by improving the quality of the water which feeds into your boiler system. This is can be done using specialist boiler water treatment chemicals or some other way of purifying the water. In low pressure boilers, water purification and pre-treatment would usually involve ion-exchange. However, with high pressure boilers where the pressures required in the boiler are significantly higher, the quality of the boiler feed water needs to be much better, and this can be achieved using a reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment process.
