The district heating system

Optimal protection of a district heating system is not very different from the way other types of installations are protected. However the focus lies mainly in the measurable and isolated components taking into consideration the risks of having bacteria and sludge in the system.

Aqua-x concept in terms of district heating:
A hardness stabilisation product that among others contains:
  • Dispersing agents
  • Polyphosphates
  • Corrosion inhibitors

Caustic soda (NaOH) to adjustment of the pH value. Also a one-shot concept is developed (pH, oxygen scavenger, sludge/scale dispersants).

This gives the opportunity to regulate every single protection component independently of each other by common self-checking. The Danish District Heating Association recommends this method.

Accumulation tank

You would often use volatile oxygen absorbents (DEHA) for protecting the edge zone. This also applies in case of a lack of nitrogen surplus in the upper part of the tank.

Priorities in a district heating system:

  • A high proportion of aggressively dispersed oxygen in untreated water from supplementary feed and through water penetration.
  • Minerals that precipitate and form deposits (deficiency in softening, untreated water penetration.)
  • Galvanic corrosion due to inhomogeneous metals in the system.
  • If various contaminants are introduced through penetration, the risk of sludge formation and bacterial growth is increased.
  • Independent analyzes of protective components.
