Oxycontrol

OXYCONTROL is a liquid catalyst compound which reacts instantly with dissolved oxygen in water thus protecting the boiler from oxygen corrosion. The highly efficient results achieved, are based on its reaction time and its ability to bind, to absorb and to counteract the dissolved oxygen, even at low temperatures. Additionally, OXYCONTROL is applicable to all steam generating and water systems, when the neutralizing of dissolved carbon dioxide is required.

Characteristics, Advantages & Applications

Protects against oxygen corrosion and can be used at low temperatures.
Very efficient and rapid oxygen scavenger.
Can be used in combination with a number of other treatment products.
Safe to use on any steam generators and steam boilers experiencing dissolved oxygen saturation.
Cost effective, easy to handle and apply.

Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

Initially, a volume of 1.2 litres per ton of the boiler’s water must be used for a period of 48 hours. Thereafter, a dose of 300 ml per ton of water is sufficient to use on a daily basis. However, dosage may be increased or decreased based on test results.

B. Sampling and Testing

To achieve optimal results, it is important to adjust the treated water and maintain boiler conditions by testing water samples on a daily basis or at the very least, every three days with the MARICHEM SULFITE TEST KIT (or WT SULFI TEST KIT), depending on the adjustment period to maintain stable sulfite concentrations in the boiler’s water.

The water samples must always be taken from the same origin found in the middle of the boiler after blow down has occurred. Keep in mind that before testing, the water samples must be left to cool at room temperature. Thereafter, the results may be evaluated according to the OXYCONTROL TESTING CHART found below.

C. Feeding Procedure

OXYCONTROL must be fed into the boiler’s feed pump suction line or into the hot well tank, continuously, by means of a metering pump. Other conventional ways may also be used. However, direct feeding to the boiler is strongly not recommended.
