Dilution Steam System

AQUAMAX™ technology from Nalco Champion is widely recognized for mitigating emulsion, fouling, foaming and corrosion from the quench water tower to the dilution steam generators. Nalco Champion has been the leader in innovative treatment programs including our cost-effective, sodium-free corrosion control program for dilution steam systems operating with low corrosion severity. We also offer unique, differentiated programs for fouling, emulsion and foaming control.

Managing quench and dilution steam systems can be challenging. The system frequently encounters a wide array of potential issues such as fouling, emulsions, foaming and corrosion, and all of these process challenges are interrelated. Our comprehensive approach results in a complete treatment solution to protect the entire system for our customers. Our program includes:
