Now online at http://www.portatreatment.com is a photograph showing the inside of FCAF No.2's boiler after 3 years of using 'Porta Treatment'. This boiler, unlike FCAF No.3's was treated from day one with this regime and it shows! No corrosion, scale or mud anywhere. Martyn |

Porta was probably using a treatment program very much like the Terlyn treatment that is offered here in the United States by Iron horse boiler treatment. I have seen similar results from the Terlyn program. Perhaps someone who is familiar with both can elaborate. |

My understanding is that Porta Treatment is more simple in the application and in fact a more thorough treatment regime. It was designed to be used by semi-literate people in under developed countries and equally for heavy duty use in daily service. It allows at least 6 months between washouts in the worst water areas and perhaps uniquely the treatment chemicals are the same regardless of the source water. |
