Steam Boiler Applications with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances steam boiler efficiency by treating limescale, biofouling, and corrosion, ensuring optimal heat transfer and reducing maintenance. It helps lower energy consumption, minimises downtime, and extends equipment lifespan across various industries.
Optimising Steam Boilers with HydroFLOW®
Steam boilers are used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, providing high-temperature steam for heating, power generation, and processing. They are highly susceptible to limescale buildup due to high temperatures and throughputs, which reduce heat transfer efficiency, increase fuel consumption, and lead to costly maintenance.
HydroFLOW® provides a non-chemical solution to treat scale in steam boiler systems. By maintaining clean heat exchange surfaces and optimising water quality, HydroFLOW® helps improve efficiency, reduce energy costs, and extend equipment lifespan.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Steam Boilers: Heat Transfer, System Protection, and Efficiency
Treats Limescale & Scaling Deposits
Limescale buildup on heat exchanger surfaces acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer efficiency and increasing energy consumption. HydroFLOW® treats scale formation by keeping minerals in suspension, ensuring optimal heating performance.
Treats scale in boiler tubes, heat exchangers, and steam lines
Maintains efficient heat transfer, reducing fuel consumption
Reduces the need for frequent chemical descaling
Extends the lifespan of boiler components
Reduces Biofilm & Bacterial Growth
Steam boilers operating with untreated feedwater can experience biofilm buildup, which insulates heat exchange surfaces and promotes microbial contamination. HydroFLOW® inhibits biofilm formation, improving system hygiene and efficiency.
Reduces biofilm accumulation in boiler water circuits
Minimises bacterial growth and Legionella risks
Enhances water quality and system cleanliness
Lowers the need for chemical biocides
Mitigates Corrosion & Protects Boiler Components
Corrosion is a major issue in steam boilers, leading to equipment failure, pipe leaks, and costly repairs. HydroFLOW® mitigates corrosion by reducing biofilm formation and controlling the accumulation of corrosion-inducing deposits.
Reduces internal pipe and boiler tube corrosion
Extends the operational lifespan of steam boiler components
Minimises the need for anti-corrosion chemical treatments
Improves overall system durability
Improves Steam Quality & Reduces Blowdown
Steam quality is critical for process efficiency and equipment longevity. HydroFLOW® optimises water quality, reducing carryover and improving the purity of generated steam while minimising the frequency of boiler blowdowns.
Enhances steam dryness and reduces moisture carryover
Reduces the need for excessive boiler blowdown, saving water
Improves boiler efficiency by maintaining stable water chemistry
Supports sustainable steam production with lower water waste
Reduces Maintenance Costs & Downtime
Frequent cleaning and unplanned maintenance in steam boiler systems result in operational downtime and increased costs. HydroFLOW® helps prevent common boiler issues, reducing the need for extensive maintenance.
Decreases the frequency of mechanical cleaning and chemical treatments
Reduces costly shutdowns for scale removal and corrosion control
Ensures continuous, trouble-free boiler operation
Lowers overall lifecycle costs of steam boiler systems
