Steamate* PAS6071
Total boiler system corrosion inhibitor
Unique blend of Polyamine and Neutralizing
amine corrosion inhibitors
Protects feedwater, boiler and steam conden-
sate system surfaces against both carbonic acid
and dissolved oxygen corrosion
Provides effective coverage of the entire steam
boiler system from a single feedwater injection
point
Reduces chemical inventory and simplifies
treatment program monitoring & control
Reduces total cost of ownership thru improved
corrosion control
Description and Use
Steamate* PAS6071 is a blend of a multifunctional,
volatile, amine corrosion inhibitor (the “Polyamine”
component), and a specific blend of neutralizing
amines selected for effective coverage of complex
steam distribution systems.
Steamate PAS6071 protects metal surfaces from
corrosion via multiple mechanisms. The volatile Polyamine corrosion inhibitor forms a barrier film on all
metal surfaces. Thus, the deaerator, feedwater piping, boiler, steam piping and condensate return piping are all protected from oxygen and carbonic acid
corrosion. The product also contains a blend of
neutralizing amines, which can neutralize acidic
contaminants and elevate the pH of the condensate
into the mildly alkaline range, where the protective
metal oxides are most stable and adherent.
Improved corrosion control reduces the potential for
boiler tube failures by reducing the level of corrosion
product ingress from the steam condensate and
feedwater circuits, and the resulting metal oxide
deposition on internal boiler heat transfer surfaces. It also maintains optimum fuel-to-steam efficiency by maintaining clean heat transfer
surfaces, and minimizes disruptive outages and
maintenance costs associated with corrosionrelated failures of steam condensate and feedwater piping, economizers, condensers and other
heat exchangers, steam traps and other associated equipment.
Typical Applications
Steamate PAS6071 is designed for application to
steam boilers. This technology is not approved for
use where the steam contacts food products or is
used for direct humidification of indoor air.
Treatment and Feeding Requirements
Feed Point – Steamate PAS6071 is designed to be
fed neat (undiluted) into the storage section of the
deaerator below the waterline.
Feedrate – Use in accordance with control proce-
dures GE establishes for a specific system. The
range of application is between 5 and 40 ppm
(mg/L) as Steamate PAS6071 to the feedwater.
Dilution – Steamate PAS6071 should be fed neat
directly out of the shipping container. It is not designed for dilution or blending with other treatment products.
