Sludge reduces heat efficiency and may cause scale formation in boilers and heat exchangers. Boiler sludge is a deposit that forms when suspended materials present in the boiler water settle on, or adhere to, hot boiler tubes or other surfaces.

Scaling in boilers. ... Common feed water contaminants that can form boiler deposits include calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, and silica. Scale is formed by salts that have limited solubility but are not totally insoluble in boiler water. These salts reach the deposit site in a soluble form and precipitate.
