Novel Boiler Water Treatment Using Green Chemistry Saves Water and Energy
Purified tannin has been proven to save significant energy and water when used as a boiler water treatment. Purified tannin protects boilers from corrosion and scale, allowing operation well above ASME guidelines for water quality and, thereby, improving their efficiency. The functional properties of tannins have been studied, and the mechanisms of boiler protection verify empirical field results. A case study involving a California regional brewery demonstrates how purified tannin saves water and energy.
