Product Description
BW2060 is a liquid, catalyzed sodium sulfite-type oxygen scavenger for use in steam and high temperature hot water boilers. Its rate of reaction is 20 to 500 times faster than that of commercial sulfites. Its convenient liquid form eliminates mixing and stirring; and simplifies feeding. This product is an effective reducing agent for all levels of oxygen in all boiler feed waters. It also dechlorinates process waters.
APPLICATION
BW2060 should be applied as early in the system as possible, following any mechanical deaeration available. The product must be fed continuously to the boiler feedwater or process stream to provide proportional treatment.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Color & Form: Pink liquid
Specific Gravity: 1.32
Density: 10.99 lbs./gal.
pH: 4.4
Odor: Pungent, sweet
DOSAGE & FEEDING
BW2060 should be applied at 17 to 18 ppm per ppm of oxygen to be removed, plus enough to result in a control level, or residual, for testing and control of the program. For dilution feeding of BW2060, use the best available quality water under 100°F. The use of a chemical metering pump to feed neat, directly from the shipping container is preferred.
The feed lines should be corrosion resistant material, such as polyethylene or stainless steel. A stainless steel injector should be used to introduce the neat liquid beyond the internal walls of the vessel or pipe.
HANDLING & PRECAUTIONS
BW2060 is mildly irritating to skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Avoid excessive breathing of vapors. In case of body contact, flush with water. If eyes are affected, flush well with water and obtain medical attention. Keep container closed when not in use.
Suggested in-plant storage is 6 months.
