Diethylaminoethanol

ChemWorld 1838 is a Diethylaminoethanol (DEAE) neutralizing amine formulation selected to use in a wide range of boiler condensate systems. This particular formulation closely matches the condensation of water and carbon dioxide in steam to provide good protection throughout most systems. The ingredients are FDA approved for use in systems where steam contacts food or food products with the sole exception being in dairies where no amines may be used. Also, this particular formulation is USDA registered for use in meat processing and packaging facilities.

CHEMICAL FEEDING AND CONTROL
ChemWorld 1838 is normally fed continuously to the system being treated. However, shot feeding may be satisfactory in some circumstances. The product may be fed neat but is most often mixed in a chemical feed tank with the other materials required to complete the program. Normal materials of construction are satisfactory for the feed system. However, copper, copper alloys and aluminum must be avoided.

ChemWorld 1838 is normally controlled by a pH test on the return condensate. For extensive distribution systems, samples should be taken from various points in the system at least until it can be assured the desired distribution of the amines is being achieved.

This product should be injected near the center of the steam header with a retractable chemical injection quill. We always recommend automation by using a boiler conductivity controller.

This products standard strength is 20% solution. Please contact us directly for solutions up to 50% solution.

For new steam boiler startups, consider purchasing our Steam Boiler Startup Kit.The Chemworld 1838 steam return line treatment contains Diethylaminoethanolcan which can not be used with copper and aluminum. What can I use if my heat exchanger is made of copper and aluminum? That is only correct for the chemical in concentrated form. You won’t have any issues with copper and aluminum when you're feeding Chemworld 1838 in very low dosages.
