Oxygen Scavenger Chemical

Oxygen scavengers are designed to remove dissolved oxygen in boiler water and steam boiler systems.  Failure to properly remove dissolved oxygen will result in irreversible corrosion damage to the boiler tubes and may result in premature tube replacement. Proper chemical injection is in the center of the deaerator storage section or feedwater tank.

Boiler Chemical 1537

BC 1537 is a highly concentrated neutral pH sulfite solution designed to react with oxygen present in the boiler feedwater. By acting as an oxygen scavenger, the products are used to control corrosion and pitting caused by the presence of this dissolved gas. Boiler Chemical 1537-F can be used in FDA regulated facilities but is not USDA approved.
