Boilers are systems which generate steam which consists of two principal parts: the furnace which provides heat usually by burning a fuel and the Boiler proper a device in which the heat changes water into steam. The steam or hot fluid is then recirculated out of the boiler for use in various processes for heating applications. Proper pre-treatment of Boiler feed water is an important part of operating and maintaining a boiler system. As steam is produced dissolved solids become concentrated and form deposits inside the boiler. This leads to poor heat transfer and reduces the efficiency of the boiler. Dissolved gasses such as oxygen and carbon dioxide will react with the metals in the boiler system and lead to boiler corrosion. In order to protect the boiler from these contaminants they should be eliminated or at least through external or internal treatment. Our AE102 - BOILER WATER COMBINATION TEST KIT is easy to use and gives reliable and caccurate results.

Chloride ions are one of the major inorganic anions in water and wastewater. Although high concentrations of chloride in water are not known to be toxic to humans they may corrode metal pipes. It is essential to monitor chloride concentration in boiler systems to prevent damage of metal parts. In high levels chloride can corrode stainless steel and be toxic to plant life. Therefore chloride is one of the very important parameters which is frequently tested and our AQUASOL AE203 - CHLORIDE TEST KIT makes testing easy simple at the same time accurate.

Iron is a naturally occurring mineral found in water especially groundwater which has come in contact with iron-containing rock or soil. Insoluble iron can clog valves and strainers and can cause excessive sludge build up in low lying areas of a water system. It also leads to boiler deposits that can cause tube failure. Suspended or dissolved iron coming in the feed water will also deposit on the boiler metal. Checking iron in boiler and cooling water helps to monitor corrosion level in water. AQUASOL AE303 - IRON TEST KIT iron test kit gives a clear red colour result which is then compared with the colour chart provided.

Nitrates are inorganic salts that occur as a natural or manmade contaminants in drinking water.

Our AE308 - NITRATE TEST KIT is based on a colour comparison method. It is a very sensitive one and giving distinct colours which are easily comparable with the chart provided.

Nitrites occur in water as an intermediate product in the biological breakdown of organic nitrogen being produced either through the oxidation of ammonia or the reduction of nitrate. The presence of large quantities of nitrites is indicative of waste water pollution. Low range nitrite estimation is useful for drinking water analysis. Nitrite is added to control corrosion in closed cooling systems. Our AQUASOL AE207 - NITRITE TEST kits are based on colour comparison and are very simple and convenient to use.

Silica is an oxide of silicon and is present in almost all minerals. It is found in surface and well water. Silica is a problem for high-pressure boilers as it exhibits enough volatility that high-pressure boilers will have silica carry over to the vapor partition. When the steam pressure is reduced in turbines silica will precipitate on the blades as a glassy deposit which reduces efficiency. Measuring silica in water is useful to monitor demineralized for boiler water treatment. Our AQUASOL AE302 - SILICA TEST KIT kits are based on color comparison and are very simple and convenient to use.

Sulphate is a constituent of TDS and may form salts with sodium potassium magnesium and other cations.

Zinc is also used in some fertilizers that may leach into groundwater. Zinc is used as a corrosion inhibitor for Cooling water. The AE305 - ZINC TEST KIT is easy to use and the results achieved are fairly accurate.

Water is required to be cooled for many processes for example air conditioners manufacturing processes or power generation etc. A cooling tower is used to reduce the temperature of a water stream by extracting heat from water and emitting it to the atmosphere. Cooling towers make use of evaporation whereby some of the water is evaporated into a moving air stream and subsequently discharged into the atmosphere. As a result the remainder of the water is cooled down significantly. Water by its basic nature is corrosive. Therefore cooling systems are plagued with corrosion. Many factors affect corrosion rates in a given cooling water system. The presence of dissolved gases chloride and sulfate levels pH alkalinity scaling tendency and protective ions such as calcium magnesium phosphate nitrate and silicate must all be taken into consideration. The first step to control is detection therefore regular monitoring of the above is absolutely essential.
