High-Pressure Industrial Boiler Cetamine® Transformation
Conversion of three 40-bar package steam boilers from conventional solid phosphate/sulphite chemistry to Kurita Cetamine® film-forming amines.
The Core Engineering Challenge:
Heavy boiler blowdown requirements (8% of feedwater) caused massive fuel consumption and thermal losses. Condensate return piping suffered frequent corrosion leaks from carbonic acid attack.
The Baseline / Existing System:
Trisodium phosphate and sodium sulphite dosing with manual intermittent bottom blowdown.
What C-Water Engineered:
01Implemented Kurita Cetamine® all-volatile film-forming polyamine technology.
02Installed Walchem W900 boiler controllers with high-pressure continuous conductivity blowdown manifolds.
03Achieved complete passivation of steam drums, superheater tubes, and condensate return lines.
04Automated proportional chemical pacing based on make-up flow and condensate return rates.
Technology Stack Deployed:
Kurita Cetamine® Boiler Chemistry
Walchem W900 Boiler Blowdown Controllers
Walchem High-Temperature Toroidal Conductivity Probes
Walchem Precision Chemical Dosing Pumps
