What is your boiler blowdown costing you?

Six quick taps. Watch your annual savings build with every answer.

Step 1 of 6

How big is your boiler?

Nameplate HP is on the boiler data plate. Multiple boilers? Use combined firing capacity.

Step 2 of 6

How often does it run?

Boilers run continuously with reduced load at night, not on/off. Pick the closest schedule.

Step 3 of 6

What pressure do you run?

Sets the steam temperature, and how much heat every pound of blowdown carries down the drain.

Step 4 of 6

How is your feedwater heated?

Colder feedwater means more fuel wasted per pound of blowdown.

Step 5 of 6

What's your makeup water?

We'll use typical conductivity for your source. Have a log sheet? Enter exact readings below.

Get this as a report — and lock in a pre-season tune-up

We'll email your savings report. A ChemREADY boiler specialist can confirm the numbers against your logs. Pre-season tune-up slots are limited by territory.

How this is calculated

Blowdown rate (%) = (feedwater conductivity − condensate conductivity) ÷ (boiler conductivity − condensate conductivity) × 100

Water savings = difference in blowdown rates × steam production × operating hours, at 8.34 lbs/gal

Fuel savings = pounds of blowdown avoided × (steam temperature − feedwater temperature) × 1 Btu/lb·°F, at your gas rate

Sewer and chemical savings = gallons avoided × your sewer rate, and per-1,000-gallon treatment cost

Simplified steam tables (steam temperature ≈ 338°F + 0.3 × psig). Request the specialist review above for an estimate using ASME steam tables and actual enthalpies.
