WATER TREATMENT EVAPORATOR TREATMENT

EVAPORATOR TREAT

The production of pure fresh water for engine department and domestic use is one of the most vital requirements
aboard ship.
EVAPORATOR TREAT is a new and patented polymer evaporator treatment that has been developed to alter the
normal crystal habits of scale forming minerals. These minerals normally form a hard scale incrustation; however,
with the use of EVAPORATOR TREAT, the scale formation is eliminated, while the minerals are held in a soft, easily
removed suspension. EVAPORATOR TREAT incorporates special anti-foam agents that are stable and will perform
even under the high temperatures.

ADVANTAGES OF EVAPORATOR TREAT

- Greater distilled water production due to the ability to use higher steam inlet temperatures.
- Greater production because of less scale build-up and better heat transfer.
- Greater production due to special anti-foam agents allowing higher water levels.
- No need to employ shocking which may be damaging to the evaporators.
- Reduces need for acid cleaning.
- Easily mixed with water.
- Effective in reducing water scale formation in heat transfer equipment other than evaporators.

INSTRUCTIONS

Dosing Equipment:
Treatment mixing tank plus flowmeter control valve where vacuum drag is possible; or tank with proportioning
pump where pressures require their use.
Dosages:
Are based on rated evaporator capacity or actual water production, whichever is higher. The rate is Half Lt. (500 ml)
for 20 tons of water produced with sea water evaporators; 3/4 Lt. (750 ml) for fresh water evaporators. Evaporators
designed to maintain a higher brine density, such as vapor compression types, should be dosed at the rate of 1 lt.
(1000 ml) per 20 tons of distillate. Mix the required amount of EVAPORATOR TREAT with fresh water in a mixing tank
and feed continuously and uniformly during evaporator operation.
