BOILER WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM – DREWPLEX® AT with AMERZINE®

Read SDSs before running these tests. Before testing, samples must be cooled to 25°C (77°F) by collecting through a sample cooler for safety and to prevent flashing, which concentrates the samples.
Note: If the sample is colored or turbid, filter before running the test. If the sample remains cloudy after the first filtering, the sample should again be filtered through the same paper since the filter becomes more retentive on the second filtration.
THE USE OF HIGH QUALITY, DISTILLED MAKEUP WATER IS RECOMMENDED.

no surface blowdown required
Calibrate Conductivity Meter monthly with both the 84 µS/cm and the 1413 µS/cm standards. Also, calibrate the meter if, over the
course of a week, system results are either less than 300 µS/cm or are within a narrow band (±25 µS/cm). BLOWDOWN > 700 µS/cm ppm, increase surface blowdown frequency/duration
Weekly Bottom Blowdowns of 10‐20 seconds are advisable to remove sludge and to clear operational lines. Blowdowns should be carried out per boiler manufacturer’s instructions. Surface blowdown is necessary to reduce
dissolved and suspended solids. If suspended solids are noticed, blowdown regardless of test results.

DREWPLEX AT dosage by 25% if this can be accomplished while maintaining the range of
both the Hydrate Alkalinity and the Phosphate. If 3 or more drops are required, the
condensate pH is high and DREWPLEX AT dosage should be decreased by 25% as long as
this can be accomplished while maintaining the Hydrate Alkalinity and Phosphate ranges.
