Steam and hot water play an integral role at several stages of the textile manufacturing process. Much of the manufacturing process requires the use of steam or hot water produced by industrial boilers, textile engineering, bulk fabric production, garment manufacturing, or other textile processes.
Pre-treatment
There are several steps in this process, and some of them require both steam and hot water that is clean and pure, which requires an efficient steam boiler.

While the exact chemical treatment plan will be determined by a local water expert after performing an analysis of a water sample, there are some chemicals that are commonly used to treat boiler water.
Establishing a boiler water treatment plan will provide you with real-time feedback of your boiler system so you can get ahead of any issues that might occur as a result of poor water quality. We broke down the boiler water treatment process into three simple steps that you can incorporate into your preventative maintenance practices.
Steam boilers use a contained heat system to generate steam. The steam travels through pipes in the building’s walls where they emerge at radiators in heating systems. The radiators warm from the steam’s heat. As the steam gives off its heat, it condenses back to liquid water and returns to the tank. A boiler system of this type that does not allow outside water sources is a closed system and is highly efficient for using all the condensed water. An open network may be required in operations where the steam or water gets contaminated in such a way that it cannot return to the boiler for reuse.
As their name implies, hot water boilers operate by being completely filled with hot water. On the other hand, steam boilers are usually only filled approximately 3/4th of the way full, while the top quarter is reserved for steam.
Whether it's an industrial hot water boiler or an industrial steam boiler, they all depend on fuel to run. The process of heating is initiated as the burner heats or eventually evaporates the water inside of it. It's actually transported via intricate pipe systems.
Steam boilers transport through the pressure created by the process, while hot water boilers use pumps to move heat throughout the system. Eventually the condensed steam or cooled water returns back through the pipes to the boiler system, so the heating process can be initiated again.
As the boiler creates heat energy, a byproduct of the process — flue gases — are exited through a chimney system. Because of this, regulating the industrial boiler emissions is a very serious issue.
The quality of boiler feedwater is an important determinant of safe boiler operations and it should be monitored to maintain the quality within safe working limits. Boiler feedwater is treated to protect the boiler from two basic problems: the buildup of solid deposits on the interior or water side of the tubes, and corrosion.
In the operation of gas-fired steam/hot water boiler, it need continuous water supply to ensure the water volume in the drum. Once water shortage occurs, it will cause the boiler dry burning problem, which will further result in the boiler failure and other problems.
