Reboiler Water Quality Guidlines

[wlc1]

We are looking at generating 650psig steam using a kettle reboiler and a thermal fluid heater as the heat input. I am looking for a published water quality specification for the reboiler feed water to follow. I am aware of the ASME water quality specification for water tube boilers and if I can not find any thing else then I will use this as a minimum. Does any one know of a guide for this application?

Try EPRI report TR-113692. This report is the guidelines to makeup water treatment.

An alternative to the ASME standard are the VGB standards and guidelines produced by VGB PowerTech e.V. These are a European standard. See
