CLEANING OF BOILERS

FOR OIL AND GREASE REMOVAL  

General

Prior to putting a new boiler into service or returning a boiler to service after it has been repaired and/or contaminated with oil or grease, it must be boiled out to remove these contaminants.  Otherwise, these contaminants can cause operational problems such as foaming and/or priming, reduction of boiler efficiency and in severe cases, even tube failures.  In many cases, alkaline boil out procedures are described in the boiler manufacturer's operating manual for the particular boiler.  However, where they are not, the general procedure described below will suffice.
