GENERAL
A newly erected boiler, or one on which
extensive furnace refractory repairs have
been carried out will require to be dried
out thoroughly before commissioning the
boiler. The procedure is to allow control
drying out of wet brickwork and refractory
to the lowest rate of heating possible for
avoiding the separation or cracking.
Thermal stresses will be produced if
heating rate is too rapid.
From this it follows that LONGER PERIOD
OF LOW TEMPERATURE DRYING CAUSES
MORE

DISTRIBUTION
RESULTING IN BETTER REFRACTORY
DRY OUT.
In deciding initial heating temperature and
its duration the following factors should be
considered:
Estimated moisture content of walls
and refractory.
Thickness of walls and refractory.
The distance from heat source.
Initial Preparation
Ensure the availability / completeness of
the following:Maintain minimum 48 hours time lag
for natural curing (air drying) of the
applied
refractory
at
ambient
temperature between boiler light up for
the refractory dry out activity and
refractory application job completion.
All type of refractory sample test piece
will be taken separately.
Ensure boiler erection completed,
refractory
and
insulation
works
completed, Expansion indicators in
position with zero setting, and all
temporary supports removed.
Boiler hydraulic test is complete.
Mechanical
completion

including auxiliaries and piping.
Ensure all permanent supports for
pipelines, valves and ducts are
provided.
Temporary piping for chemical boil out
activity is completed if any as agreed

NOTE:
It is essential to have spare gaskets
for Boiler drums as drum inspection
has to be carried out after alkali boil
and after chemical cleaning to
ensure effectiveness of the alkali
boil out and chemical cleaning.
Welded parts of drum internals are
installed. The internal piping of drum

PROCEDURE
A liberal blow down may serve to clear
the drain valve seats of any foreign
matter that may be present.
Shut all drain and blow-down valves
except super heater drain valve, which
must be OPEN.
Open all air release valves.
Fill boiler with properly treated
demineralised water up to first port of
drum level gauge glass.
Prepare the boil out chemical solution
in hot demineralised water in the
chemical mixing tank. The solution is
formulated by dissolving the following

NOTE:
When blowing down through all
drains
and

simultaneously, due regard must
be exercised for the capacity of
the blow down system.
