sea water in boiler
Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:09 pm
Sea water has entered the secondary drum (22barg) of a double evaporation boiler (secondary drum heated by a steam coil @ 220 C) to the extent of chlorides = 2300 ppm. The water was ok when tested 24 hours previosly and found to be 30ppm.
I know about the dangers of scaling but what are the likely problems giving the 2300pm and the maximum time scale of 24 hours.
What actions should be taken to rectify the situation other than draining, flushing is not an option due to water shortages?
