The control of corrosion and deposit formation in steam propulsion plants is the primary purpose for boiler and feedwater treatments. The main objective for the design of any treatment process is the elimination of oxygen, carbon dioxide and acid corrosion and their resulting products that appear as scale and sludge. In addition, hardness in the makeup water, carry-over of solids in the steam, and possibly hydrogen embrittlement must be considered when the success of a boiler treatment is evaluated.
