Boiler Feed Tank BFT

The BFT boiler feed tank is one of the most important devices in a boiler house. Its main function is to store make-up water and condensate, ensuring a reserve of treated water to supply the steam boilers.  The feed water has to be treated to prevent the formation of scale in the boiler; in addition oxygen must also be removed so that corrosion in the boiler itself and in the steam lines is avoided (this situation is normally handled by specialists).

The consumption of the chemicals used to remove oxygen can be drastically reduced by using one of the various ADCAtherm thermal degassing processes (ADG, TDG, FCD) for the removal of oxygen and other non-condensable gases (mainly carbon dioxide).

Even if you decide not to use one of the above mentioned systems, ADCATherm boiler feed tanks will always be optimized according to the existing needs, i.e. being able to include water preheating as well as other obvious features of a true steam expert.
