Types of Boiler Chemicals

• Oxygen Scavengers - Most common type is 38%, pH < 4. Other solutions come blended with a cobalt catalyst and alkalinity contributors. These blends are usually 50% dilutions and come in 7 and 10 pH. Using these blends eliminates using an alkalinity source (i.e. eliminates using a separate alkalinity drum).
• Boiler Alkalinity Builders - Potassium Hydroxide or Sodium Hydroxide are the most common boiler alkaline products.. Mostly sold in 25% and 50% in solutions.
• Amines - Neutralizing amines are considered neturalizing chemicals. Cyclohexylamine, Morpholine, and Diethylaminoethanol. These chemicals can be purchased as a single component or in a multi-blend in many dilution ratios.
• Scale Prevention - Blend of Phosphates and Polymers.
