Ty-Ion B14A

Ty-Ion B14A is a one product boiler treatment that controls boiler scale and corrosion and condensate line corrosion in low pressure, low make-up steam heating boilers where most of the condensate is returned. Ty-Ion B14A is chromate free and it contains a color indicator for visual determination of treatment residual. Its balanced formulation provides an energy efficient operation of the heating plant.

Application

Ty-Ion B14A is formulated as a simple easy-to-use "single-drum" boiler product. It was developed specifically for low pressure steam boilers having low makeup and a very high percent of condensate return. Such boilers are usually used for heating and are found in schools, small hospitals, nursing homes, and other commercial or industrial locations.

Benefits

• Complete one product treatment for the prevention of sludge, oxygen putting, corrosion and condensate corrosion.
• No special mixing or tanks required; can be used straight from the drum.
• Built-in color indicator provides for easy on-going, visual determination of product treatment level in system, without chemical testing.
• Easy to use calorimetric test is available if desired. Assures exact dosage for economical use.

Directions for Use

For proper treatment, it is necessary to initially charge the boiler with one gallon of Ty-Ion B14A for every 250 gallons of water in the system. However, to avoid the potential for surging when filling the boiler, add 1/2 gallon (in the case of cast iron boilers, use 1/4 gallon) for each 250 gallons of water. Allow boiler to operate two weeks to one month before adding balance of the product. Use W003-0 Nitrite Test Kit and test the nitrite (NaNO2) level in the boiler water to determine the amount of product that is present. Gradually add enough product to bring the ppm (mg/L) of nitrite in the boiler to 1000. At this point, the color of the system water in the sight glass should match the color standard of the B14A Comparator available from Nu-Calgon Wholesaler, Inc. Please note that additions of the product to reach 1000 ppm should be done over a period of several weeks to avoid possible surging.

Method of Feeding

Ty-Ion B14A may be introduced into the boiler system through a No. 44 Pot Feeder installed in the feed water line, directly into the feed water tank, or with a chemical feed pump or the silver King Pump.

Boiler Surging

If boiler should surge, bottom blowdown the boiler until surging subsides.

Boiler Lay-Up or Storage

When a boiler is to be laid up for storage for a prolonged period of time (over 3 weeks), it is recommended that it be done in a dry state to avoid oxygen corrosion. For less than 3 weeks, it can be done "wet" with treatment. After thoroughly flushing and inspecting the water side, add two to three gallons of Ty-Ion B14A per 250 gallons of boiler water capacity to the boiler. Add the product through the top hand hole of a fire tube boiler and through the safety valve for a water tube boiler. Fill the boiler to the normal operating level and steam the boiler for approximately 15 minutes with the hand holes or safety valve open. Shut the boiler down and fill the boiler to the top. Shut hand hole or safety valve and the boiler should be ready for stand-by.
