CLEANING AND DOSING EQUIPMENT


Injectors For Soot Remover
Equipment for blowing soot remover powder into boiler fire-side or into
the gas side of exhaust gas boilers.
This simple, low cost injector ensures rapid and effective dosing of
powder so that soot and firescale may be removed most efficiently.

Operation - Portable Injector


The nozzle of the injector is inserted into a suitable part of the boiler and
an air supply is attached to the air hose connection. The valve is opened
allowing air to be blown into the boiler while soot remover is being fed
simultaneously into the funnel and is carried with the air into the
combustion zone.
Fixed injector
Product no. 664 572073
For further details of soot remover usage and consumption, refer to the
soot remover data sheet.

Operation - Fixed Injector


1) Fill dosing pot with soot remover.
2) Open valves in sequence A.B.C.
3) Open vent lock until soot remover is injected.
4) Close valves in opposite sequence C.B.A.

Note
A. Place outlet from injector in same direction as gas flow. Portable injector
B. Prevent bends in injection pipe, if not possible make bends of 45°, only Product no. 664 572065

Unitor's Cooling Water Treatment Programme
Water Test Kits
Product no: 661 739466
The tests recommended to maintain cooling water within
the prescribed limits when using Dieselguard NB/Rocor
NB Liquid are as follows:

Nitrite - Recommended Limits 1000-2400 ppm as NO2


The nitrite concentration should be maintained within the
above recommended limits to effectively inhibit any
corrosive or scaling action within a closed cooling
system. Too high a concentration should be avoided to
minimize the cost to maintain the system. Insufficient
dosage can set up a condition where accelerated
corrosion can occur in areas which become unprotected.
Dieselguard NB/Rocor NB Liquid is dosed according to the
nitrite level recommended.

pH - Recommended Limits 8.3-10


The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor is restricted to
within a certain pH range. Treatment with Dieselguard
NB/Rocor NB Liquid ensures that this pH range is
observed when the nitrite level is sufficiently maintained
to prevent corrosion. Under certain conditions, because
of external contamination, the pH may not fall into the
range usually found with the correct nitrite dosage. In
such cases, Wilhelmsen Ships Service recommends It is advisable to conduct the appropriate tests within 30

Unitor's Coordinated Boiler
Water Treatment Programme

Product no 311: 661 739482


For medium and high pressure boilers, the use of combin-
ed product treatment is not recommended. This is becau-
se higher pressures and temperatures increase the ten-
dency of scaling and corrosion, which makes it
necessary to change the chemical conditions and test
parameters individually.

Hardness Control
Hardness Control is a phosphate powder product used in
boiler water treatment to precipitate dissolved calcium
hardness salts and to convert these salts to
non-adherent calcium phosphate sludge, which can be
easily removed by blowdown. Hardness Control is highly
effective in achieving this function requiring
minimum dosages.

Boiler Water Treatment Programme
Water Test Kits
The test recommended to ensure boiler water is free
from dissolved oxygen when using Unitor's Oxygen
Control (Hydrazine, N2H4).

Hydrazine is a colourless liquid at ambient temperatures,


being completely mixable with water. It is used to
efficiently scavenge and remove oxygen from
condensate, feedwater, and boiler water. Hydrazine
reacts with oxygen, acting as a scavenger. The reaction
results in nitrogen and water, no solids being added to the
boiler system. Some of the hydrazine will carry over with
the steam, aiding in maintaining the condensate pH in an
alkaline range, which thereby helps combat acid
formation. Hydrazine will also form magnetite which will
act as a protective layer against further corrosion.

Boiler Water Treatment Programme
The test recommended to ensure boiler water is free of
dissolved oxygen when using Unitor's Oxygen
Scavenger Plus.
Controlling dissolved oxygen in boiler feed water and
boiler water is important to avoid pitting corrosion in
boiler systems. Unitor's Oxygen Scavenger Plus
contains DEHA, a low toxicity oxygen scavenger that is
distributed throughout the boiler system.
Dosage level of Oxygen Scavenger Plus is based on the
DEHA value of the condensate water. Note, a fresh
sample of condensate should be drawn for this analysis.
Great care should be taken in sampling to exclude
reaction of the sample with atmospheric oxygen. For this
purpose, use a 60 ml stoppered glass bottle. The sample DEHA Test

HIGH PRESSURE BOILER WATER TEST KIT

Accurate monitoring of boiler- feed- and condensate-
water samples is of increasing importance with higher
Boiler pressure and evaporation rate. The higher the
operating pressure of the boiler, the narrower the
specifications for the quality will be. Because the narrow
range for the various parameters normally checked (like
hydrazine, phosphate etc.), the accuracy of the test
procedure used should also increase with the operating
pressure of the boiler. Most treatment parameters are
analysed by colorimetric methods, and to improve the
accuracy of the test method, an advanced photometer is
included in the Unitor Multidirect kit. The photometer
eliminates the reliance on correct colour perception by
the human eye. Easy to use handheld conductivity and

Cooling Water Treatment Programme

Sampling of Diesel engines


TAccessible sampling cocks should exist on all cooling
systems for each diesel engine. This including, but not
limited to, main jacket water, piston cooling, fuel oil valve,
auxiliary engines, low temperature systems, etc. A
representative sample must be taken from each cooling
water system to be tested. To minimize the effort in
obtaining cooling water samples, a sample cock located
in a position to draw a sample/having access to draw the
sample quickly and easily, will make the task of drawing
samples simple. Before taking the sample the sampling
line if present, should be thoroughly flushed with cooling
water to ensure a representative sample is used for
testing. In each case of drawing a sample, the container
should be filled with the water to be tested, sealed and
labelled. It is advisable to conduct the appropriate tests
within 30 minutes of drawing the sample, although this
time limit can be extended when the sample container is
completely filled and sealed. Cooltreat AL inhibitor concentration test

layout example:
Tests show that vessels using this type of injection
equipment with chemical cleaners such as air cooler

liner wear rates are not increased.
As the air cooler size and position, (baffle plates etc.) vary
from engine to engine, Wilhelmsen Ships Service service
engineers can help you find the optimum solution for pla-
cing the injectors.
Large engines will normally require two injectors per
cooler, but one injector is usually sufficient for medium
and small engines.

Dosing Procedure
1. Check that valves A, B & C are closed
2. Thoroughly mix up a 25% solution of air cooler cleaner
and fresh water and pour this into the dosing pot.
3. Open valve 'A' allowing compressed air to the injector
nozzle(s).
4. When two injectors are installed, the air cooler cleaner
solution should be dosed separately to each injector.
Turn the 'T' valves D and E to the correct line to supply
the injector.
5. Open valves 'B' and 'C' to balance the pressure. The
emulsion solution will now be drawn down into the
injector and be atomised in the scavenge air trunking.
It should take about 10 minutes to empty the dosing pot.

CLEANING AND DOSING EQUIPMENT
Ultrasonic T-1040/HM
General Description
The Unitor Ultrasonic T-1040/HM is a portable ultrasonic cleaning unit
with the following features: bottom drain, basket with long handles and a
frame for secure fastening to the floor. This unit is designed for use with
water-based as well as solvent based chemicals. Applications may inclu-
de fuel and lube oil filters, injection nozzles, fuel and pump parts, inlet and
exhaust valves etc.

Principle
Ultrasonics is the technology dealing with mechanical sound waves at
frequencies above the audible range. Ultrasonic cleaning is based on the
utilisation of these extremely high-frequency waves to "scrub off" surfa-
ces immersed in a liquid medium, usually water. The scrubbing action is
accomplished by a phenomenon known as cavitation.

Advantages of the Unitor ULTRASONIC T-1 040/HM


1. Thorough non-destructive cleaning by means of sound waves penetra-
ting into crevices and cavities, facilitating cleaning of otherwise inac-
cessible areas. Allows use of chemicals with less environmental expo-
sure. Specifications:
Capacity: 65 ltr. total.
2. Removes deposits, soil and fouling completely. Low, or hardly notice-
