ScalingScaling
Scale formation is a function of two criteria:
1. The concentration and solubility limits of the dissolved salt
2. The inverse solubility (proportional to temperature) property of some salts

ScaleScale
Many solids, soluble in boiler feedwater, precipitate in the boiler water. This happens due to change in chemistry of water when going from feedwater to boiler water conditions, inverse solubility of some salts like carbonate which will combine with calcium
to form calcium carbonate, a relatively insoluble salt. Magnesium hydroxide and iron oxide are also produced by changes in water chemistry.

Corrosion in Boiler - OxygenCorrosion in Boiler - Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen in the feedwater can attack the feedwater line, heaters, and the economizer. Oxygen induced corrosion is an electrochemical reaction and often results in localized pitting of the metal surface.The rate of reaction and severity of this type of corrosion will depend upon the level of dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH of the feedwater.Corrosion of steel is a spontaneous electrochemical reaction that occurs between iron and oxygen. The overall reaction is: Fe + ½ O2 + H2O
Fe(OH)2

Oxygen attack on steel can be decreased by maintaining an alkaline pH and limiting the oxygen concentration.The factors affecting oxygen scavenging reaction rates include:• Oxygen concentration • Presence of a catalyst • Reaction time • pH • Temperature • Scavenger feed rate and decomposition
