I. Indicators for monitoring the water quality of gas-fired boilers in food factories

  1. Water hardness:

    • Definition: Water hardness is an important indicator of the amount of calcium and magnesium ions in water.

    • Impact: High hardness water can cause scaling inside the boiler, affecting heat transfer efficiency and increasing energy consumption.

    • Standard limit: usually below 100 mg/L.

    • Detection method: Usually by titration or potentiometric titration.

  2. Water alkalinity:

    • DEFINITION: Water alkalinity is the total amount of alkaline material in water.

    • Impact: Excessive alkalinity can lead to increased boiler corrosion and shorten boiler life.

    • Standard limit: generally below 200mg/L.

    • Detection method: Acid-base titration or potentiometric titration.

  3. Dissolved oxygen:

    • DEFINITION: Dissolved oxygen is one of the harmful substances in boiler water.

    • Impact: Dissolved oxygen accelerates the corrosion of boiler metals and affects the safe operation of the boiler.

    • Standard limit: usually below 0.02 mg/L.

    • Detection method: chemical or electrochemical.

  4. pH:

    • Definition: pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a body of water.

    • Impact: High or low pH can affect the corrosion and scaling conditions of the boiler.

    • Detection method: Composite electrode method.

  5. Conductivity:

    • Definition: Conductivity reflects the ability of ions in water to conduct electricity and is closely related to salt content.

    • Impact: High conductivity indicates high impurities in the water, which may affect the heat transfer efficiency and safe operation of the boiler.

    • Detection method: Potassium chloride electrode method.

  6. Iron and copper ions:

    • Impact: Excessive levels of iron and copper ions can lead to corrosion problems and affect boiler water quality.

    • Detection method: 1,10-phenanthroline spectrophotometry or sodium diethyldithiocarbamate spectrophotometry.

  7. Chloride ions:

    • Impact: Chlorine ions are corrosive to stainless steel and other materials, affecting boiler material safety.

    • Detection method: solid conductivity ratio method.
