Description
Accepta 2589 is a high performance mixed neutralising amine scientifically formulated for the treatment of steam boilers and other boiler systems.
Accepta 2589 comprises a solution of volatile amine used to neutralise the acidic carbon dioxide content of steam condensate.
Accepta 2589 contains a blend of cyclohexylamine and morpholine. The total amine content is 24%.
Accepta 2589 extends the life of condensate pipework by retarding the rate of ‘grooving’ by acidic condensate.
Accepta 2589 has FDA approval for use where steam comes into contact with food. Total amine content in the steam must not exceed 10 ppm.

Application & Dosage Information
Dose Accepta 2589 at 1.2 ppm per 1 ppm of total alkalinity in make up.
The dose rate for Accepta 2589 will depend on the level of condensate return.
Dose Accepta 2589 in proportion to feed water flow by means of a positive displacement pump.
Maintain a condensate pH of 8.0 – 8.5.
Accepta 2589 is compatible with most boiler water treatment chemicals, but do not mix neat products.
It is always advisable to carry out a ‘Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health’ (COSHH) assessment before use.
Testing & Control
Laboratory Test
Test pH and iron content of condensate (low range iron comparator method).
On-Site Test
Test pH and iron content of condensate (low range iron comparator method).
