Blowdown can be reduced by

  • A.improving the feedwater treatment so fewer solids enter
  • B.raising the boiler's operating pressure
  • C.increasing the excess air to the furnace
  • D.lowering the feedwater temperature

Answer: A

Correct answer: improving the feedwater treatment so fewer solids enter

Blowdown exists to hold the dissolved solids in the drum below a limit, and its rate is set by how fast those solids arrive. Removing them upstream - better softening, demineralisation, more condensate returned - means less water has to be discharged to hold the same concentration. Nothing done to the pressure or the air changes the solids balance.
