Boiler Wash – 55 Gallon Drum

Boiler Wash is a clear, alkaline solution containing 2-butoxyethanol, disodium trioxosilicate (both at 0%-4% concentration), and potassium hydroxide (3%-8% concentration). It removes scale, corrosion, oil, grease, and rust from new boilers, closed loops, heat-exchange tubes, surfaces, and towers. It can also be used on boilers that have been taken offline.

Boiler Wash Benefits

• Low reactivity
• Removes numerous types of dirt and grime
• Sold in a bulk 55-gallon drum for industrial use

Boiler Wash Applications

• Boiler Wash is a water treatment solution that can be applied to new boilers, offline boilers, closed loops, heat exchange tubes, surfaces, and towers to expel oil, grease, scale, corrosion, and rust.
• For fire-tube boilers, the boiler must be filled with water with the top manhole or hand-hole open. Then, Boiler Wash may be added at a rate of 1-2 gallons per 100 gallons of water.
• The boiler should be turned on, allowed to heat up, then turned off once the water is boiling.
• It can be switched back on for about 1 minute every 15 minutes for an hour, ensuring that the water does not overflow. Then, the boiler may be drained and rinsed out.
• For towers, Boiler Wash should be used at a rate of 1 gallon per 1,000 gallons of water.
• It must be added while the bleed valve is closed and the circulation pump is on, then permitted to circulate.
• After 1-2 hours, the lowest bleed valves may be released to allow the dirty solution to drain out.
• Boiler Wash can be left to circulate and bleed for a few hours.
• Finally, the bleed rate can be returned to its regular rate, and normal tower treatment can be administered at 4x its regular dosage.

Boiler Treatment Chemicals: Remove Scale, Grease, and Corrosion

Boiler systems gradually accumulate scale, grease, corrosion, and other deposits that reduce efficiency and increase maintenance costs. Boiler Wash is an alkaline cleaning solution designed to remove these contaminants from fire tube boilers, heat exchangers, closed loops, cooling towers, and other industrial equipment that has been taken offline. By restoring cleaner heat transfer surfaces, Boiler Wash helps improve system performance and prepares equipment for reliable operation before it is returned to service.

Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals: Support Reliable System Maintenance

Routine boiler maintenance helps reduce unexpected downtime and extend equipment life. Boiler Wash is commonly used during scheduled maintenance to clean new systems before startup or remove accumulated deposits from existing equipment that has been taken offline. When used according to the recommended application procedures, it helps prepare boilers, heat exchangers, and cooling towers for continued operation as part of a comprehensive water treatment and maintenance program.
