Dosing and Sampling

• For optimum results dose directly into the boiler via the
bypass pot feeder installed in the boiler water feed line.
• A representative sample of boiler water must be taken at
regular intervals (daily or every 3 days), at a frequency
adequate for the type of boiler. The sample should be
taken immediately following blow down and should be
analysed immediately.
• Follow the AQUAMARINE test kit instructions and record
the results on the log sheets provided by AQUAMARINE.
These should be returned monthly for review by
AQUAMARINE CHEMICALS.
• The results indicate the level of P Alkalinity in the boiler.

Results of use
BOILER COAGULANT prevents the formation of adherent

Dosing Instructions
Normal dosage is 20ml daily/tonne of boiler water capacity.
Typically this equates to 0.1-0.3 litres/day. This is the
recommended initial dose.
BOILER COAGULANT should be dosed directly to the boiler via
the bypass pot feeder installed in the boiler feed water line.

Condensate

Controller
Treatments
Description
Aquamarine Condensate Controller is a liquid volatile amine
product used as a neutralising agent in condensate and feed
water systems of all pressures.
How does it work?
Condensate Controller is an alkaline amine which acts as
a neutralising agent which combats acid contamination in
condensate and feed water systems. This is most commonly
caused by the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide.
Condensate Controller neutralises these products and
maintains a protective film in the system. The product is
recycled as a result of its volatility which causes it to carry
over with the steam.
Dosing Instructions
Condensate Controller is best dosed using a metering pump
or flow meter. The best dosing points are the condensate
pump discharge, hot well or condensate return tank
(feed line must be at least 1 metre below surface), or the
deaerator storage tank.
• Dosing levels are set to maintain a pH between 8.5-9.2
Take a representative sample of condensate and test it for
pH. If the pH is in the target range add a dose of 0.75 litres/
day of Condensate Controller. Dosing is based on a system
of 10-12m3. If the pH is below this level increase the dose to
1.0 litre/day for 3 days and retest the pH. If the pH is above
the target range decrease the dose to 0.5 litres/day for 3
days and retest the pH. It is important that regular testing is
carried out to ensure levels of treatment are correct.
Condensate Samples should always be taken from the
drains cooler or condenser.
Cool the sample and test immediately.

sulphite excess of not less than 30 p.p.m in boilers or 3
p.p.m in feedwater lines, as detectable sulphite using a
reagent dropper method or standard titration technique.
Aalborg recommendation is 30-60 p.p.m. (for example).
Please check specific manufacturer’s instructions as they
may vary.

Tank Cleaner H.D
Heavy duty concentrated
solvent emulsion cleaner
– suitable for many
common cleaning tasks
Description
Aquamarine Tank Cleaner is especially suited for cleaning
residues from mineral oil cargoes. Aquamarine Tank Cleaner
can be used neat or diluted at elevated temperatures 65-
8O°C, and is especially effective where mechanical agitation
is limited. This is particularly relevant in cleaning areas such
as bilges and double bottom tanks.
The dispersant solvents will rapidly penetrate oil residues,
breaking them up and freeing them from surfaces.
Detergent wetting agents lower liquid surface tension and
increase the efficiency of emulsification.
Uses
• Cleaning residues from bilges, double bottom tanks, fuel
oil bunker tanks at sea
Cleaning Products
• Cleaning and gas freeing of crude and refined mineral oil

cargo tanks at sea
• Cleaning oil side of fuel and oil heat exchangers
• Degreasing the engine cooling system
• Upgrading of tanks from BLACK oil to WHITE oil or GRAIN
• General oil and grime cleaning
• May be diluted with kerosene or diesel oil
• Compatible with tank washing machines
• IMO Approved
Application
Aquamarine Tank Cleaner can be used neat by hand, spray
or brush application. Direct injection cleaning will require
strengths between 0.1% -2% with either fresh or salt water,
for cleaning by recirculation use @ between 0.5% and 3%.
Aquamarine Tank Cleaner is compatible with most common
metals, epoxy, polyurethane and zinc silicate coatings.
