WHAT IS CHEMICAL CLEANING

REMOVAL OF INTERNAL DEPOSITS INSIDE THE

BOILER i.e.-WATER CIRCUIT WHICH INCLUDES,
ECONOMISER, DRUM ,DOWNCOMERS,WATER
WALL AND RISER TUBES BY TREATEMENT WITH
CHEMICALS AND THEN AGAIN ESTABLISHING THE
PROTECTIVE LAYER.
.
 CHEMICAL CLEANING
WHY

 FOR NEWLY SUPPLIED BOILER TO WASH THE DEPOSITS,

WELDFLESH CORROSION AND OIL,GREASE ETC CHEMICAL
CLEANING IS RECOMMENDED.

 FOR BOILER IN USE FOR MANY YEARS, THE SCALES,

CORROSIVE SALTS, SILCATES AND CARBONATES ARE
DEPOSITED IN BOILER WHICH HAMPERS THE HEAT TRANSFER.

 THESE DEPOSITS MAY INCREASE METAL SURFACE

TEMPERATURE AS THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SALTS ARE
VERY POOR-RESULTING IN TUBE FAILURE.
OVERHEATING OF TUBE DUE TO
INTERNAL OXIDE/DEPOSITION
 Increase in metal temperature due
to internal scale
•
FACTORS INFLUENCING DEPOSIT IN
BOILER TUBES.
• NUMBER OF STARTUPS / SHUTDOWN

• INGRESS OF RAW WATER FROM CONDENSER

LEAKAGES OR SEEPAGES.
• CHANGE IN FEED / MAKEUP WATER QUALITY
• CRUD FORMATION DUE TO CORROSION AT LP SIDE
AND TRANSFER TO THE BOILER.
• BOILER WATER CHEMISTRY DEVIATIONS
• PRESERVATION OF BOILERS DURING IDLE PERIOD
• BOILER CYCLE METALLURGY
 REMEDIAL MEASURES

• PERIODIC POST OPERATIONAL ACID CLEANING OF

BOILERS TO REMOVE THE EXISTING INTERNAL
OXIDE LAYER AND FORMATION OF PROTECTIVE
MAGNETITE LAYER.
• MAINTAINING BOILER WATER PARAMETERS
STRICTLY
• CONTROL THE INGRESS OF IMPURITIES I.E.
COOLING WATER THROUGH CONDENSER, WHICH
WILL REDUCE THE PHENOMENA OF SALT
CONCENTRATION BY “WICK BOILING”.

 TO DISLODGE / LOOSENING OF HARD, ADHERENT

DEPOSIT ON THE INTERNAL SURFACES OF TUBE

 CHEMICAL USED: TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE (1000 PPM) AND

DISODIUM PHOSPHATE (500 PPM)
 CHEMICAL CLEANING
ALKALI BOIL OUT PROCEDURE
 BOILER DRUM FILLED UPTO BOTTOM LEVEL & CHEMICALS
CHARGED THRU DRUM MAN HOLE

 BOILER IS LIGHTED UP & PRESSURE IS RAISED UPTO ¼

RATED PR. WITH NORMAL DRUM LEVEL

 HOLD THE PRESSURE FOR 2 HRS AND BLOW DOWN IS

GIVEN THRU LOW POINT DRAINS IN SEQUENCE EACH FOR
30 SECONDS, AFTER THE FIRE IS PUT OUT.
 CHEMICAL CLEANING
ALKALI BOIL OUT PROCEDURE
 THE PROCESS OF RAISING PRESSURE, HOLDING PRESSURE AND
BLOW DOWN ARE REPEATED FOR SIX TIMES.

 THE SAMPLES ARE ANALYSED FOR PH AND ALKALINITY

MEASUREMENT.

 DEPRESSURIZE THE BOILER DRUM UPTO 2 KG/CM2, THEN ENTIRE

SYSTEM IS DRAINED HOT.

 ON COMPLETION OF TOTAL DRAINING, THE BOILER IS WASHED

WITH DM WATER TILL THE DRAIN SAMPLE IS FREE FROM
PHOSPHATE.
