: Curious about chemical cost averages for other plants per 1000lbs of steam. We are using a polymer program with filming amines added to the boiler. We have a 400 psi plant, boiler feedwater hardness between .2 and .4 ppm.
Cost should not exceed $0.10 per 1000 lb's per hour.Unless Nalco is in your plant,then this will be in excess of $1.00 per 1000.Polymer is $2.12 per lb from chemtreat and $5.00 per lb from Nalco also sodium sulfite liquid 22% is $0.50 per pound from Ques Ind if you are paying more for these chemicals,you are getting taken for a ride.If you are on Nalco then there is no question you are paying top $ for less stength
