BOILER WATER TREATMENT

PRINCIPAL USES

MAKS 1440 is designed to assure a high level of cleanliness in the boiler system, especially on the heat transfer surfaces, together with a corrosion inhibiting action. MAKS 1440 can be used at pressures up to 65 bars.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

• Prevents scale formation and resulting tube failures
• Includes online cleaners removing scale and iron deposits during operation
• Reduces deposits, resulting in more efficient heat transfer, energy savings and fewer acid cleanings
• Helps produce better quality steam by preventing foaming
• Multifunctional product: includes oxygen scavenger
• Supports internal metal passivation in feedwater and boiler system
• Can be used at boiler systems with deaerators with a total hardness up to 25 ppm
• Provides high steam purity also at higher cycles of concentration

DOSAGE

The specific dosage of MAKS 1440 varies depending on the quality and pressure of feedwater. To control the performance of MAKS 1440 treatment, a suitable analytical procedure as well as a test-kit is available.

Your BIMAKS representative will recommend the optimum dosage necessary to ensure maximum program performance according to your specific system parameters.

FEEDING

MAKS 1440 is applied neat or diluted with demineralized water, condensate (<35°C) or deaerated boiler feedwater via a stainless steel quill into the suction side of feedwater pump. MAKS 1440 must be fed continuously; any interruption in feed will result in scale or deposit formation and possible tube failure. If feed water is used for steam attemperation, MAKS 1440 must be fed downstream of the attemperation water takeoff. MAKS 1440 must not be fed with alkaline products.

MATERIALS: Storage and application equipments (pumps, lines) should be made of stainless steel 304 and 316, PE, PVC or PTFE. Do not use aluminum, copper, brass, polyester or zinc in contact with the neat product.

HANDLING-STORAGE-SHIPPING

As a standard precaution with all chemicals we recommend the use of personal protective equipments such as goggles and rubber gloves when handling. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet as the only official source of Environmental and Safety information.

MAKS 1440 can be stored for at least 24 months from date of shipping if kept in its original, unopened container and under normal warehouse conditions. Protect from freezing and from exposure to high temperature.

MAKS 1440 is available in non-returnable containers of different sizes.

APPLICATION METHOD AND QUANTITY

The dosage quantity of the product changes according to the operating conditions and water chemistry of the system. BIMAKS representative will propose the appropriate dosage quantity to ensure maximum conditioning performance based on the distributed system parameters.
