Carbohydrazide
Carbohydrazide is a highly effective organic oxygen scavenger crucial for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of boiler systems. Its primary function is to react with dissolved oxygen, thereby preventing the corrosive damage that oxygen can cause to metal components at high temperatures and pressures. Unlike some traditional oxygen scavengers, it is volatile and does not contribute to dissolved solids in the boiler water, simplifying blowdown management.
- As a powerful oxygen scavenger, carbohydrazide efficiently removes dissolved oxygen from boiler feedwater, preventing corrosion and pitting.
- It acts as a metal passivation agent, protecting feed water and boiler system surfaces from oxidative damage.
- Carbohydrazide is a safer alternative to hydrazine, offering comparable performance with reduced toxicity and handling hazards, making it ideal for boiler water treatment.
- Its volatile nature means it integrates into the steam cycle without adding undesirable dissolved solids to the boiler water.
Key Advantages
Superior Corrosion Protection
Utilizing carbohydrazide for boiler water treatment significantly reduces oxygen-induced corrosion, extending the lifespan of critical boiler components and preventing costly repairs.
Enhanced Safety Profile
As a replacement for hydrazine, carbohydrazide offers a better safety profile, not being classified as a carcinogen and reducing the need for stringent handling precautions.
Improved System Efficiency
By mitigating corrosion and preventing scale buildup, carbohydrazide contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability of boiler operations, ensuring consistent steam production.
Key Applications
Boiler Water Treatment
Carbohydrazide is primarily used as an oxygen scavenger in steam boilers and feed water systems to prevent corrosion.
Metal Passivation
It helps passivate metal surfaces, offering protection even during wet lay-up periods.
Chemical Intermediate
Beyond water treatment, it serves as an intermediate in the production of various organic compounds.
Alternative to Hydrazine
A preferred substitute for hydrazine in applications where its hazardous properties are a concern.
