Sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) can be dosed into a boiler drum to prevent scale formation and corrosion. It acts as a phosphate-based boiler water treatment that helps to maintain the alkalinity and pH levels in the boiler water, which in turn reduces the risk of scale buildup and minimizes the likelihood of corrosion on the boiler surfaces. Additionally, sodium phosphate can help to sequester hardness ions, such as calcium and magnesium, preventing them from precipitating out and forming scale.
Morpholine is often preferred over ammonia for dosing in boiler feed water because it has lower volatility, lower potential for corrosion, and it offers better pH stability. Additionally, morpholine provides effective protection against both acidic and alkaline corrosion in the boiler system, making it a more versatile and reliable option compared to ammonia dosing.
Mixing NaOH and Na3PO4 will yield Na2HPO4 (sodium hydrogen phosphate) and Na3PO4 (trisodium phosphate) as products.
The dissolution reaction for Na3PO4 in water can be written as: Na3PO4(s) -> 3Na+(aq) + PO4^(3-)(aq)
Sodium phosphate (Na3PO4).
The net ionic equation for Na3PO4 is 3Na+ + PO4^3- -> Na3PO4. This equation shows that the sodium ion (Na+) and phosphate ion (PO4^3-) combine to form sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) without any spectator ions.
hp dosing used for precipitate the silica from bfw in drum and lp dosing used for increase the ph in boiler to maintain 9.5 to 10.5
For softening calsium or magnecium hardness and its become slury, other effect is by used phosphate can increased the Ph value. Shakhawat
Phosphate dosing in AFBC boilers helps to control pH levels and prevent corrosion in the boiler system. It also aids in reducing the formation of scale and deposits on heat transfer surfaces, improving overall boiler efficiency and lifespan.
The steam drum separated the steam from the water and stream mixture in the boiler drum.
Purpose of the boiler drum is to collect steam from all the various tubes in a boiler, and send it to the turbine to spin the generator

Overheating of water wall tubes may cause crack. Boiler will damage due to boiler drum level goes down.
as the boiler drum is cylindrical in shape due to low stress concentration and in both end the diameter will be less.so for easy entry into the drum for a man the drum man hole is elliptical in shape.

This is due to steam seperation the silica remains in the drum water.
