BROMOCRESOL PURPLE SODIUM SALT ACS GRADE

• Oxygen removal in low/medium-pressure boilers (typically up to ~65 bar; usage above this pressure is uncommon due to potential sulfate/solids carryover).
• Hot standby protection to prevent pitting during idle periods i.e. Oilfield Application.
• Feedwater & deaerator outlets where residual O₂ must be suppressed rapidly.

Reaction (overall):
Na₂SO₃ + ½ O₂ → Na₂SO₄

Catalyst accelerates the reaction at lower temperatures and shorter residence times (e.g., in deaerator outlets and feedwater lines)

• Deaerator outlet O₂: ≤ 7–10 ppb (if DA present)
• Sulfite residual in boiler water:
• Normal operation: 20–40 mg/L as Na₂SO₃
• High risk / wet lay-up: 60–100 mg/L as Na₂SO₃
• pH (feedwater/boiler): follow your internal treatment program (commonly FW pH 8.5–9.2; boiler water pH 10.5–11.5 depending on pressure).

• Preferably deaerator storage section or feedwater line upstream of economizer to ensure complete O₂ removal before the boiler.

Example Dose Calculation

Feedwater DO = 0.10 mg/L (100 ppb) at 20 m³/h.
Stoichiometric Na₂SO₃ = 0.10 × 7.88 = 0.788 mg/L.
With 1.3× safety factor → ~1.0 mg/L Na₂SO₃.
At 20 m³/h → 20 g/h Na₂SO₃ (as pure).
Using 38% liquid: 20 / 0.38 ≈ 52.6 g/h (~40 mL/h) (SG 1.32 ⇒ ~30 mL/h by mass; verify on site).
Fine-tune to maintain target sulfite residual in boiler.

Our hazard evaluation has identified the following chemical substance(s) as hazardous. Consult Section 15 for the nature of the hazard(s).

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS :

Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Do not touch spilled material.
Ventilate spill area if possible. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so. Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP :

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations). Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS :

Do not contaminate surface water.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS :
Exposure guidelines have not been established for this product. Available exposure limits for the substance(s) are shown below.

ENGINEERING MEASURES :

General ventilation is recommended. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary when this material is heated or a mist is created.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
If significant mists, vapors or aerosols are generated an approved respirator is recommended. An approved respirator must be worn if the occupational exposure limit is likely to be exceeded.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
