cuts steam costs, boosts efficiency a t Caterpillar Tractor Co. plant
"Caterpillar" operates twelve 630 H.P. boilers on de-alkalized water. The boil ers can be operated at 200 % capacity, or at 1260 H.P. Use of ILLCO-WAY equipment, shown at right, has reduced blow-downs by approximately one-half of former re quirements. Continued use of de-alka lized water is expected to produce even greater blow-down reduction in the future. In nine months of operation the sav ings on make-up water have been very pronounced, Caterpillar reports. Dur ing normal operations, an estimated 100,000 gallons per day on make-up water are saved by using ILLCO-WAY equipment, as the result of elimination of excessive blow-down. ILLCO-WAY De-alkalizing equipment
produces water suitably low in alka linity, reduced in solids content, and free of hardness, at a cost comparable to softening.Write for literature today.
