Dissolved oxygen pits and corrodes the metal. Both waste fuel and shorten tube life, and on a steam system a tube failure usually means the whole plant stops. We build the program around your feedwater chemistry, not a generic dosing chart. That starts with conditioning the makeup water and running the deaerator right, then internal treatment, oxygen scavenging, and blowdown control set to how your boiler runs. > “A properly operating DA is critical to the longevity of any steam system.” Doug Hoffman, President & Founder How It Flows ## Inside a Boiler Program Treated feedwater in, clean steam out, condensate back, with the chemistry held at every step. What's Included ## A Complete Boiler Program From the makeup water to the condensate return, we treat the whole steam loop as one program. ### Feedwater & Makeup Conditioning Condition the makeup and feedwater before it reaches the boiler so you are not fighting hardness and scale downstream. ### Deaerator (DA) Tuning Get the DA stripping oxygen mechanically before the chemistry has to. It is one of the biggest factors in how long a steam system lasts. ### Internal Treatment Scale and sludge control inside the boiler to keep heat-transfer surfaces clean and the system efficient. ### Oxygen Scavenging & Corrosion Control Chemical oxygen scavenging and corrosion control to protect the boiler metal and the steam side. ### Blowdown & Conductivity Control Blowdown and conductivity control, including Advantage Controls blowdown packages, to hold cycles where they belong without wasting energy. ### Condensate & Return Line Protection Treat the condensate and return lines so corrosion does not eat the piping and carry back into the boiler. ### SOLIDified Solid Chemistry Run the program on SOLIDified solid chemistry: consistent dosing with no hazardous liquid drums to store, handle, or spill. ### Automated Feed & Monitoring Automated chemical feed and monitoring so the program runs the same between service visits, not just on the day we are there.

Volatile scavengers carry through the steam to protect the condensate, and inorganic scavengers hold the feedwater and the boiler. The right one depends on your pressure and your layout. - **Precipitating & Sequestering Programs** Internal scale and sludge control, run as an All-Polymer, Coordinated pH/Phosphate, or All-Volatile program. We pick the one that fits your pressure and feedwater, whether it precipitates the hardness or holds it in solution. - **Neutralizing & Filming Amines** Amine programs protect the condensate and return lines: neutralizing amines bring the pH back up, while filming amines lay a barrier on the metal. Most systems run a blend of the two. - **Organic Passivators** We add organic passivators so the waterside metal builds a stable oxide layer instead of shedding iron back into the boiler. - **Off-Line & On-Line Cleanup** Cleanup for a fouled or new boiler, run off-line or on-line. A boil-out clears scale, oil, and mill debris so the program starts on clean metal instead of years of buildup. - **Ion Exchange Resin & Resin Cleaners** Replacement ion exchange resin for dealkalizers and boiler feedwater units, plus the cleaners that bring fouled resin back. Clean feedwater keeps the boiler program from working uphill. ![Boiler feed and treatment system Hoffman Water installed in an Ohio food plant boiler room](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/assets/boiler-install.jpg) In the Field ## Smaller Footprint, Cleaner Room A boiler feed and treatment install at an Ohio food plant; the new system replaced the old day tanks and freed up floor space.

We'll come to your facility, test the feedwater, and tell you what the chemistry is doing, at no charge.

The way to know is to test it. We pull a feedwater and boiler sample, look at the system, and tell you what the chemistry is doing. Maybe nothing. But liquid programs mean drums to store, handle, and dispose of, dilution that drifts, and spill risk for your people. Many of the boilers we take over run better on SOLIDified solid chemistry: consistent dosing and no hazardous liquids on site. Yes. We handle the chemical feed and controls along with the chemistry: Advantage Controls blowdown and feed packages, Walchem controllers, and the automation that keeps the program running between visits. Yes, and we do this often. We start with your current chemistry, equipment, and results, then build the program around your feedwater and the way the boiler runs. Ask three things. Who actually shows up: a route driver dropping drums, or someone who can read your boiler logs and adjust the program? What do they test, and how often will you see results in writing? And what happens at 2 a.m. when the boiler trips? At Hoffman Water a chemical engineer runs the account, testing happens on a set schedule with documented results, and emergency response is 24/7. We serve facilities across Ohio and surrounding states.
