The Camberley plant is a large commercial laundry part of the CLEAN group of laundries. This plant processes up to one million pieces of linen per week on a two shift/7 day per week operation.
For Clean Camberly, the use of and RO plant and injection of amine is very successful. The boilers have stayed in good condition with minimal scaling in the boiler. TDS stays low and constant so blowdowns are minimised with a good saving in energy. They have little or no problems with the other parts of the steam system either.

Please Note – This article is a personal view by the author based on their results of their steam boiler and system.
Also note – David Kilpatrick director of the CEA would like to point readers to the CEA guidance document BG04 which talks in detail about all aspects of Steam and Boiler Water Treatment. Pages 22 and 23 offer words of caution on when and where Amine can be used, as it may suit this closed loop process but please check with a steam boiler water treatment expert that it is suitable for your process. Because steam boiler water treatment is a complex subject CEA do not endorse any technical aspect of this article and it is highly recommended that the reader carries out a thorough risk assessment in accordance with BG04 to ensure the correct boiler water treatment is applied to your individual application.
