Despite the fact that most boiler shutdowns can be traced back to poor feedwater treatment, topics like boiler efficiency, fuel savings and general maintenance tend to dominate the conversation.  Proper boiler water treatment improves steam quality, boiler efficiency and uptime.

Understanding your boiler system should not be difficult. An unfortunate trend in the industry, however, goes against making things simple, cluttering the market with terminology and explanations that are confusing and difficult to understand. 

Boiler efficiency is undoubtedly the most important and widely used term when the subject of purchasing a new industrial steam system begins. Unfortunately, the goal of some boiler manufacturers at times seems to be to make the process of understanding efficiency as difficult as possible.
