BD 86 Non Phosphate Detergent
Pre-Startup and Post-Descaling Boiler Cleaning | Removes Oil, Grease, and Process Contaminants Before Treatment Chemistry Goes In | Non-Phosphate Formula for Discharge-Restricted Environments
CI BD86 is the cleaning step that happens before the treatment program starts. New boilers ship with manufacturing oils and greases on internal surfaces. Recently descaled boilers have residual process contaminants left behind after acid cleaning. If those residues stay in the system when the boiler goes into service, they cause foaming, surging, and unstable water levels — operational problems that no corrosion inhibitor or oxygen scavenger can fix because the issue isn’t chemistry, it’s contamination. BD86 is the concentrated alkaline detergent that removes oil films, grease, and residual contaminants so the boiler starts clean and the treatment products applied afterward can actually reach metal surfaces and do their job. Non-phosphate formulation meets discharge requirements in jurisdictions where phosphate limits restrict what goes down the drain after boiler cleaning — a growing regulatory constraint in municipal and institutional settings. Silicates, chelating agents, and non-foaming surfactants emulsify and lift contaminants without generating foam that complicates drainage or interferes with rinse verification. Compatible with all CI boiler treatment products — no neutralization or additional rinsing steps required between BD86 cleaning and the start of the corrosion, scale, or oxygen control program. Every other product in the water treatment line protects the boiler while it runs. BD86 is the one that makes sure it’s clean enough for those products to work when they go in.
Technical Data
CI BD86
Concentrated alkaline boiler cleaner formulated for pre-startup cleaning and post-descaling cleanup where oil films, grease, and process residues must be removed before treatment chemistry goes into the system. Built to give boiler water treatment a clean starting surface instead of asking corrosion and oxygen-control products to work through contamination they were never designed to solve.
