SOLUTIONS · BOILERS & CONDENSATE
AvailableBoiler water and condensate — modeled as one network.
AquaAdvisor links feedwater and boiler chemistry to carryover, condensate pH and CO₂, scavenger and amine demand, metal transport, and blowdown optimization — from the lab and controller data you already collect on the account, with provenance on every solve.
WHAT GOES WRONG
What goes wrong in boilers and condensate
Cycles and carryover fight each other
Pushing cycles without modeling carryover risk trades fuel for steam purity and deposits downstream — the account feels the purity hit, not the spreadsheet.
Condensate corrosion is diagnosed late
CO₂ and amine coverage fail far from the boiler. Iron and copper show up in the hotwell after the customer already feels the damage.
Scavenger and amine doses are tribal knowledge
Spreadsheet residuals do not connect oxygen ingress, load swings, and filming coverage across the network the program is supposed to hold.
Blowdown is set by habit
Without mineral-specific limits and heat-recovery economics, accounts over-blow or under-blow for months — and the program takes the blame.
WHAT AQUAADVISOR MODELS

AI IN THIS ASSET
AI on boilers and condensate
Network-level insight for the boiler and condensate accounts you treat — not a single-sample chatbot.
- Explanations when carryover or condensate pH drifts, citing CO₂ partitioning and amine coverage terms the account team can defend
- Supervisory checks that reconcile boiler conductivity and blowdown against the lab ions you already collect
- Blowdown and scavenger/amine recommendations bounded by the site’s metallurgy and the program limits you sell
- Exception reports for metal transport events ready to attach to the program file
