Boiler Feed‐water Treatment for Corrosion Control — Part I

This paper is concerned with boilers and feed systems in power stations of relatively modern design—in general, those commissioned since 1945. The author considers a number of inter‐related factors, commonly accepted as being influential in corrosion, in relation to boiler‐water and feed‐water control. These factors are: boiler design, insoluble boiler deposits, chemical conditions of boiler water and feed water, low‐load and off‐load water conditions and hide‐out.
