In boilers, the calcium and magnesium in hard waters form a hard adherent scale on the plates. As a result of the poor heat conductivity of the scale, fuel consumption is increased, and the boiler deteriorates rapidly through the external overheating of the plates. Sodium carbonate hydrolyses to produce free alkali that causes caustic embrittlement and failure of the boiler plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A suitable technique that serves the removal of the ions that cause the water to be hard, in most cases calcium and magnesium ions.&nbsp;Iron&nbsp;ions may also be removed during softening.<br>The best way to soften water is to use a water softener unit and connect it directly to the water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swaraj has over 30 years\u2019 experience custom-designing and manufacturing wastewater treatment systems, so kindly reach out to us with your questions.
