OXYSCAN 5020             Treatment for Boilers and Closed Circuits

 

 

DESCRIPTION
AND USE 

 

OXYSCAN 5020 is a blend formulation of tannins, alkalis and polymers for preventing corrosion, scale and organic fouling in steam boiler, hot water and chilled water systems.

OXYSCAN  5020  is specially formulated for waters with a high non-alkaline hardness, low CO2 and low pH.  

OXYSCAN 5020 is particulary recommended where the circuit contains  aluminum or galvanised steel when the galvanising cannot be regarded as expendable.

TREATMENT
AND DOSAGE
REQUIREMENTS

 

For  steam  boilers  OXYSCAN  5020 is dosed so as to maintain the tannin value and the pH of the boiler water within set limits, usually a tannin value of 12-16 pH greater than 10.

For  closed  hot   water or chilled water systems OXYSCAN 5020 is  normally   dosed so  as  to  maintain  the  (tannin index)  value  at   12-18   and   the  pH  to  suit  the  materials  of  construction;  for ferrous / cuprous,  pH 10-11;  where   aluminum   is   present, pH 8.0-8.5; where galvanising is  regarded  as  non-expendable , pH8.0-8.5.

For tannin value a simple test using reagent in table form is available; for pH, indicator test papers are suitable.

The initial dose is normally 3 litre/m3.

OXYSCAN 5020 is safe to handle without special precautions.
