How to clean the steam boiler?
10 Sep 2021
Removal of metallic scale and corrosion products generally requires chemical cleaning. Acid or chelant cleaning procedures vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. Chemical cleaning can improve the boiler heat rate and reduce the number of tube failures. It typically improves the stability of boiler chemistry.
1、Alkaline cleaning solutions are basically trisodium phosphate and surfactant. Trisodium phosphate concentrations typically range from 0.1 to 1%. Disodium phosphate and/or sodium hydroxide may be added. Sodium nitrate is often added when caustic is used, as a precaution against caustic embrittlement.
2、Acid cleaning: prepare a solution of pickling compound, keep it circulate in the system at 90℃-100℃, and quickly pass through each system component. After cleaning, drain the acid and flush with water.

In industries such as chemicals, plastic packaging, new materials, and building materials, thermal energy supply is closely related not only to production continuity, but also to product quality and operating costs. As companies place higher requirements on process temperature control, fuel adaptability, and system stability, thermal oil boilers are becoming an important heat source in many industrial applications. Based on different fuel conditions and production needs, ZOZEN Boiler continues t...02 Jun 2026 -
Packaging connects production with consumption. A carton, a piece of corrugated board, or a roll of plastic film may look light and simple, but behind each of them is a stable, continuous, and process-matched thermal energy system. As demand continues to grow in food packaging, industrial packaging, e-commerce packaging, and plastic packaging, the packaging industry is placing more specific requirements on boiler equipment: stable steam supply, fuel adaptability, process temperature control, ope...26 May 2026 -
When an industrial boiler arrives on site, what first catches a customer’s attention is often not the specification sheet, but the overall appearance of the equipment in the plant environment. For boiler equipment, exterior design is not only about visual presentation; it also reflects the manufacturer’s approach to product details, on-site management, and brand image. ZOZEN Boiler has upgraded the exterior of its SZL series biomass boiler, presenting a more unified visual design and...19 May 2026
