Profile: FCT Water Treatment is a specialty chemical and service solutions provider for water treatment, wastewater treatment, and process automation and control. Boilers heat water or generate steam to be used for a wide range of applications including power generation, heating, and manufacturing. As steam leaves the boiler, the impurities in the water are left behind and begin to concentrate. As more steam leaves, the concentration of the impurities increases. As the concentration increases various minerals, including calcium carbonate, have a tendency to form crystals on the heat transfer surface, reducing the efficiency of the equipment. This process is known as scaling and is one of the major reasons for water treatment.
