Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals
Our products and services in the field of boiler chemicals for industry
Boiler feedwater must be carefully treated to remove dissolved oxygen, mineral deposits, and improper pH conditions in order to prevent corrosion, scaling, reduced efficiency, and damage to critical system components.
Even small amounts of oxygen or water hardness in the steam generation process can cause hard scale formation, pitting corrosion, and reduced heat transfer efficiency.
The controlled use of specialized chemicals such as oxygen scavengers, corrosion and scale inhibitors, pH regulators, and filming amines provides effective protection of metal surfaces, extends boiler life, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures stable system performance.
Oxygen Scavenger
Chemicals such as sodium sulfite and DEHA remove dissolved oxygen through chemical reactions. Oxygen scavengers have been used since the early 20th century and play a key role in preventing pitting corrosion.
Hardness Stabilizer & Corrosion Inhibitor
These compounds prevent the formation of hard deposits and protect metals from oxidation. Phosphates are among the oldest inhibitors used in boilers.
pH Regulators
Maintaining pH in the mildly alkaline range (8.5–10.5) is essential to prevent corrosion of steel and copper surfaces.
Filming Amines
These chemicals form a hydrophobic protective film on metal surfaces, preventing direct contact between water and metal. Filming amine technology, developed in the 1980s, has increasingly replaced some traditional methods.

FAQs
Everything you need to know, right here.
What are the main problems if boiler chemicals are not used?
Without proper chemical treatment of boiler water, several serious issues can occur. The most common are scaling, corrosion, and carryover of solids with the steam.
Scaling: Minerals such as calcium and magnesium form hard deposits on tube surfaces, blocking heat transfer and increasing energy consumption.
Corrosion: Caused by dissolved oxygen or improper pH conditions, it thins the tube walls and eventually leads to leaks or ruptures.
Carryover: High levels of dissolved solids can cause foaming, which carries impurities into the steam. This reduces steam quality and causes erosion and damage to downstream equipment.
What is the best way to determine the type and dosage of boiler chemicals?
The process begins with a complete analysis of the feed water and boiler water, measuring hardness, alkalinity, TDS, dissolved oxygen, silica, and pH. This analysis can be carried out in Farur Hormoz Industry’s laboratory upon customer request. Based on these test results and the boiler’s design parameters, our experienced specialists will provide a detailed technical proposal recommending the appropriate chemicals and dosages.
Can boiler treatment chemicals contaminate the steam?
No—when applied correctly and within standard limits. The selected chemicals are designed not to carry over into the steam. If certain compounds such as amines do carry over, they remain within safe, approved limits and pose no risk to the process or product.
Farur Hormoz Industry offers a full range of formulations approved for use in boilers serving the food and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring safe and hygienic water conditioning in compliance with all safety standards.
