Boiler Water pH Control with pH Adjuster
Warning: Low Boiler Water pH Can Increase the Risk of Corrosion
When operating a boiler, maintaining water quality is not only about keeping the water clean. Boiler water pH must also be carefully controlled, because excessively low pH can increase the risk of corrosion on metal components within the boiler system—especially when the condition persists and is not corrected promptly.
If left untreated, corrosion can cause material thinning, leaks, and increased maintenance requirements. For engineering teams, this condition is directly related to equipment reliability and service life. For purchasing and procurement teams, it can lead to unexpected component replacement costs and unplanned downtime.
Therefore, pH control is an important part of any boiler water treatment program.
What Happens When Boiler Water pH Is Too Low?
However, pH control does not mean raising the pH as high as possible. The pH value must be maintained within the appropriate range based on the boiler’s operating conditions and water treatment program.
How Can Boiler Water pH Be Controlled?
One way to help control boiler water pH is by adding a chemical designed to increase alkalinity, commonly known as a pH adjuster or pH booster.
This chemical helps correct low-alkalinity water so that key water quality parameters can be maintained within the specified limits.
AQUARIGHT A055 pH Adjuster for Boiler Water pH Control
To help control alkalinity and correct low boiler water pH, ZEFA provides AQUARIGHT A055 pH Adjuster. It is a liquid chemical based on sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
AQUARIGHT A055 is used to add alkalinity to boiler water or correct water conditions with low alkalinity.
