Technical Data Sheet 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. For more, contact CSC Technology for a complete white paper. All Rights Reserved. Do not duplicate
