Boiler Scale
X-Rays Speed
| Cleaning Time
NEW YORK—<;P)—X-rays and
a dozen assorted chemicals, used
in boilers and tubes, have effected
the greatest manpower saving of
the war in the steam power field.
The time of removing boiler scale
and other deposits has been cut
from two weeks to 24 hours. More
than two miles of tubes three
quarters of an inch in diameter
have been cleaned in two hours.
The fast-cleaning method was
developed by Dowell, Inc., Tulsa,
Okla., a subsidiary of the Dow
Chemical Co.'
The new method uses acid to
dissolve the scale, as always has
been done. It also adds inhibiting
chemicals, as formerly, to keep
the acid from eating away the
metal.
But boiler scale differs from
area to area, and boiler alloys al
so differ, so that the chemical
combination best for one is not so
good for the next power plant.
X-rays of a bit of the scale from
any power plant enables the Dow
ell processors to write a personal
chemical prescription for the
needs of each boiler and this ef
fects the time and labor saving.

vated since ancient times.

Pfc. John Hannon Newark, N. J.,
