TDS Blowdown Controls

During formation in the boiler, steam leaves behind impurities (TDS - total dissolved solids). If left these concentrate and cause damage to the boiler.

  • High TDS results in plant & production problems
  • Low TDS results in increased fuel & chemical treatment costs

Accurate blowdown methods are essential maintain your steam quality, contact our engineers for advice on the best methods for your business.
