Application TOTAL GUARD 16B16 is designed to provide complete protection from

corrosion and scale in low to medium pressure steam boilers with low
hardness, low alkalinity feed water, where an alkalinity builder is required.
Low to medium pressure boilers require special consideration in that the
presence of oxygen produces rapid corrosion and plant failure. TOTAL GUARD
16B16 contains an oxygen scavenger to overcome this problem.
TOTAL GUARD 16B16 also contains a blend of scale inhibitors and sludge
conditioners to maintain optimum, scale-free conditions within the boiler.
Dosage rate will be dependent on the feedwater quality and the design of
boiler. Proportional dosing is recommended. The most efficient dose rate and
injection point will be determined by a Culligan Engineer as part of our expert
consultancy service.
TOTAL GUARD 16B16 can be diluted with softened or demineralised water
(condensate will be acceptable) prior to addition to the feedwater.
It is recommended that TOTAL GUARD 16B16 be applied as part of a
complete program of boiler feedwater treatment. For more information, please
