Cortec Boiler Egg - Oxygen Scavenger for Boiler Startup

Key Features:

• Protects against oxygen pitting at boiler startup.
• Scavenges oxygen and passivates metal.
• Treats 1000 gallons of makeup water during refilling process.
• Water soluble, pH neutral, biodegradable, NSF G7 certified.
• No need for removal of product or bag.

Cortec®'s Boiler Egg™ is designed to scavenge oxygen and passivate metal during the initial filling of makeup water after seasonal or long-term dry layup of boilers. It comes in a pouch that readily dissolves upon water contact, releasing the active ingredients as the boiler is being filled. Protects against the threat of oxygen pitting during the critical startup phase of a boiler when the makeup water is normally not pre-heated and the operating chemical program has not yet been implemented. Boiler Egg™ has NSF G7 certification (Reg. #170845) and can be used in and around food processing areas if the treated water or steam has no food contact.

Packaging:
Boiler Egg™ comes as a 12"x12" bag packaged in a 7.5"x4.5"x4.5" box.

How to Use:
Apply Boiler Egg™ when preparing a boiler for dry layup or at the beginning of startup phase. Remove the outer water-insoluble bag and place the Boiler Egg™ into the boiler component, but do not slice the inner bag. For firetube boilers, place at the lower point possible. For watertube boilers, place in steam drum below the feedwater line. Seal all openings to the boiler internals. No product or inner bag removal needed. The PVA bag will dissolve as the boiler is filled. Compatibility with non-metallics should be evaluated.

Typical Applications:
Use Boiler Egg™  in conjunction with Boiler Lizard® as a complete preservation kit for dry layup of boilers, or use on its own for applications where oxygen scavenging and metal passivation are needed during the equipment startup phase.
