Chemtex Boiler Antiscalant Chemicals for Safe & Clean Boiler System

Chemtex Boiler Antiscalant Chemicals for Safe & Clean Boiler System Principal reason behind formation of boiler scales is due to precipitation of impurities and suspended solids present in feed water, used for boiler operations. Feed water contains dissolved minerals (Chloride, Sulphates, Silicates of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Barium) and impurities (Oil Contaminants, Sludge, Lime) that in due course gets accumulated over the surface of boiler internals, leading to formation of scales. As feed water gets transferred to heater, the dissolved solids and impurities begins to precipitate at the base, the salts being left out. Continuous accumulation of salts and when it exceeds the solvency, results in formation of scales. The presence of calcium, magnesium salts, and a high concentration of silica are the major causes of scale formation. It consists of carbonates, bicarbonates, sulphates, etc. Along with dissolved salts, there are also some suspended solids in the boi
Midstream – Oil and Gas Chemicals Once petroleum products are recovered in the upstream sector, they move into the midstream sector of the petrochemical industry. What is Midstream? Midstream as the name suggests sits right between the exploration and refining sections of the petrochemical industry. The midstream sector focuses on the transportation and storage of natural gas and crude oils through various oil channels, pipelines, and oil tankers, etc. It is a hub connecting the various stages of the oilfield industry, allowing oil, natural gas, and produced water to travel from the wellhead to its final destination, and in between. This sector involves extensive installation of pipelines, transmission lines, and machinery, which signifies the requirement of long service life and reliability. To meet these standards, efficient chemicals are crucial to make midstream processes as efficient and smooth as possible. Regardless of the mode of transportation, the vast medium infrastructure
