Physico‐Chemical Treatment of Feed‐Water in Marine Boilers

The problem of eliminating corrosion and scale formation is common to both stationary and marine boilers, but is intensified in the latter by reason of the greater diversity of chemical impurities present in water in different parts of the world. A boiler compound developed in Denmark operates on principles entirely different from the stœchiometrical balance, which governs the working of purely chemical boiler compounds, and its use provides great elasticity of dosage, which can save both ships' engineers and stationary boiler plant engineers much time and trouble.
