Steam boilers are mainly made of carbon steels, and the internal surface of these metals that are in contact with water must be free of deposits. Deposits have a lower thermal conductivity than metals, which causes the temperature of the metal to rise on the combustion wall side. Therefore, more fuel is needed to produce steam. Therefore, there is a need to control and wash these deposits inside the steam boiler.

Marine equipment deposits, which are mostly calcium and magnesium, act as an insulator between the metal surface and the water and cause the metal temperature to increase, resulting in reduced engine cooling. Marine equipment descaling plays a significant role in reducing costs, including fuel consumption, equipment maintenance, washing, etc.
