16、ared under the direction of the Environment and Pollution Standards Committee, supersedes BS1170:1968 which is withdrawn. The first British Standard intended as an introduction to water treatment for marine boilers was published in December 1947. Since that time marine engineers have come to realize
17、 that the water in ships, boilers has to conform to recognized standards if efficiency is to be maintained. Since the publication of BS1170:1968, boiler pressures and steam temperatures have again been increased in the never-ending search for more economic working. These increases in pressure and te
18、mperature have demanded a purer supply of water and more sophisticated treatment. This revised edition caters for boilers operating at pressures up to130 bar 1)by adding a sixth range of pressure to the five previously dealt with. For boilers operating above130bar, the control of treatment and the r
19、equirements for the limits of impurities in the feed water would be even more stringent. Other changes made for this edition include considerable expansion of the glossary of terms (Appendix A), explanation of the concepts of pH value, acidity and alkalinity (Appendix B), inclusion of a section on s
20、afe handling of chemicals (Appendix C), new ship-board methods for determination of copper, iron, silica and suspended solids (Appendix D), 16 additions to the list of reagents (Appendix E), and the inclusion of a brief outline on on-line instrumentation and automation (Appendix F). Each of the cont
21、rol tests in Appendix D is preceded by a short introduction to the principles underlying the chemical reactions. No method of test for nitrate is available that can readily be carried out on board ship; to obtain an estimate of this contaminant, a sample is taken and sent ashore for analysis. The st
22、andard should enable an engineer to control boiler water and feed water treatment under all normal working conditions. Detailed instructions for use when conditions are abnormal are beyond the scope of this standard and expert advice should be obtained from qualified advisers. Basic methods of chemi
23、cal treatment are described from which it should be possible to select a suitable treatment for most ships, bearing in mind the quality of make-up feed water, the boiler pressure and whether a deaerator is fitted or not. In all cases alkaline treatment chemicals are used, often with various oxygen s
24、cavengers. The use of neutralizing and filming amines for protection against corrosion of the steam and condensate systems, hydrazine for oxygen removal and anti-foams for preventing carry-over are included. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. U
25、sers of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

27、his British Standard gives recommendations on the treatment of water for marine boilers with working pressures up to130bar. It applies to six groups of boilers, classified according to their operating pressures as follows (seealso17.1). Group 1. Boilers up to17.5bar Group 2. Boilers from17.5bar to31
28、bar Group 3. Boilers from31bar to42bar Group 4. Boilers from42bar to60bar Group 5. Boilers from60bar to80bar Group 6. Boilers from80bar to130bar Section 6 of the standard gives detailed information on each of these groups. This section gives recommendations for feed water and condensate as well as f
29、or the water in the boilers. This standard is concerned with water conditions for boilers and associated plant, but is not intended to cover all details of the maintenance of equipment. 2 References The titles of the publications referred to are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the
30、 purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. (See alsoAppendix A.) 3.1 feed water water fed by the feed pumps to the boiler 3.2 boiler water water circulating within the boiler containing dissolved solids from the feed water and also conditioning chemicals 3.3 make-up water w
31、ater added to replace system water losses, e.g.from blowdown NOTE 1This is sometimes known as extra feed or make-up feed. NOTE 2Suitable water quality is normally produced by evaporation, though base exchange softening or evaporation followed by demineralization may be used. 3.4 condensate water for
32、med by condensation of steam from the boiler 4 Control of treatment ashore and afloat In order to secure uniformity and continuity of water treatment throughout a fleet of vessels, it is important to organize a system of supervision and control on lines similar to those suggested in this standard. I
33、t is advisable to secure the cooperation of water treatment consultants for this purpose. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that control, including regular testing, is the keystone upon which success of treatment depends, and if a companys own chemical staff is not available, a member of the engi
34、neer superintendents staff should be trained in water treatment.BS1170:1983 2 BSI 10-1999 The application and control of any chemical treatment should be in the hands of the engineer in charge of the boilers and the success of the treatment can be assured only by close cooperation between the engine
35、ers and those responsible for specifying the treatment. It is recommended that this cooperation should include the shore staff, i.e. superintendents and those responsible for maintaining the supply of materials. There is, therefore, an administrative as well as a technical effort required, the forme
36、r requiring first attention. The development of a particular case may be visualized in stages somewhat as follows. a) Contact between consultants and the engineer superintendent. Collection of information on boiler problems, e.g. on feed water, failures and matters of general interest. General discu
37、ssion of methods of treatment and control. b) Inspection of the boilers. Discussion with ships chief engineers. c) Formulation of chemical treatment and methods of application and control. d) Presentation and explanation to the engineer superintendent and discussion of arrangements to put the chosen
38、 chemical treatment into effect. e) Training of ships staff in control tests and routine application of chemicals, and similar training of any members of shore staff who will be responsible for supervision of water treatment and maintenance of chemical supplies throughout the fleet. f) Arrangements
39、for regular inspection of boilers and test records by trained members of staff. g) Regular discussion of difficulties and improvements with specialists. These items give some idea of the steps required to institute properly controlled water treatment. Section 2. Sources of water and limiting impurit
40、ies for various groups of boilers 5 Sources of water 5.1 General. There are three main types of water used to prepare make-up feed for marine boilers: evaporated waters, fresh or shore waters, and sea and tidal waters. River waters are used to a lesser extent. 5.2 Evaporated waters. These waters are
41、 obtained by distilling either fresh water or sea water. With sea water for boilers of groups4,5and6, it is better to double-evaporate or, alternatively, after a single evaporation, to pass the water through a mixed-bed demineralizing plant. Evaporated water should not contain more than4mg/L of diss
42、olved solids and usually as little as1mg/L. Within certain limits contamination at this level should not affect the type of treatment. The dissolved oxygen content may be as high as3mg/L to4.5mg/L but this depends on how long ago the water was evaporated and whether a large surface area has been in
43、contact with the air. 5.3 Fresh or shore waters. Immediately it forms, rain water is probably one of the purest waters in nature, but it subsequently dissolves various gases of which oxygen, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are usually the most important as far as boiler plants are concerned. The
44、carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide combine with the water to form carbonic and sulphurous acids. These subsequently dissolve limestone and other minerals when the water passes through and over the earths crust. Other substances, e.g. common salt (sodium chloride), Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) an
45、d decaying vegetable matter, also dissolve in the water which then becomes a complex solution, depending on the composition of the ground through and over which it has passed. The dissolved oxygen content is usually of the order of9mg/L to10.5mg/L. No two waters are exactly alike and a full analysis
46、 of shore water is usually obtainable from the water authority of the port in question. Some waters may be very soft but acid in nature, e.g. moorland or peaty waters; others may be very hard and alkaline. In addition all waters contain small amounts of silica in solution and may have varying quanti
47、ties of solid matter in suspension. The dissolved salts may be divided into two classes; salts of calcium and magnesium (commonly referred to as hardness salts) and other salts. The commonest of the former are the bicarbonates, chlorides, sulphates and sometimes nitrates; these are potential scale-f
48、orming compounds. The other salts consist principally of sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium sulphate and sodium nitrate; these do not produce scale. Whenever possible, waters containing the lowest quantity of calcium and magnesium salts and/or corrosive compounds (e.g. chlorides) should be
49、used in preference to others.BS1170:1983 BSI 10-1999 3 All fresh water is liable to contamination by sea water once on board. The composition may also be changed as a result of attempts to prevent corrosion of storage tanks, either by adding lime to the water or by the action of the water on cement or other alkaline materials that may be used to cover the walls. 5.4 Sea and tidal waters. The sea receives an enormous contribution of water from rivers and at the same time loses a large volume of water by evaporation. River waters provide a contin
