Fireside Chemicals

Fireside boiler treatment is necessary to prevent fireside slagdeposition from fuel ash components, fireside corrosion, and cold end corrosion. BASTECH has fuel conditioner products that primarily consist of organo metallic formulations and help address problems associated with pre combustion, combustion, and post combustion.
Pre-Combustion: In the pre combustion area, water can create corrosion problems with storage tank surfaces and oil transfer lines, as well as contribute to flameouts. In order to minimize problems, BASTECH has fuel conditioners to emulsify water into the oil. We have very wide range of fuel additives which control sludge formation, preventing problems associated with plug oil pre heaters, and burner tips. Post-Combustion: Main problem are slagging and corrosion on the Cold or Hot sides of a boiler. The corrosion is due to SO2 being catalyzed by the vanadium-laden slag to form sulfuric acid on the cooler sections of a boiler. We have very wide range of Fuel conditioners which minimize Corrosion as well as Slag Build Up. Combustion: We have very wide range of catalysts to enhance combustion thus reducing unburned carbon emissions. Excessive stack emissions can create “out-of compliance” situations, resulting in unfavourable publicity for your plant. Also impact furnace inner structure.
