Question - State With Reasons How Boiler Problems May Be Minimised If No Water Treatment Is Immediately Available And A Steam Supply Must Be Maintained ?
Answer -
Boiler problems would be minimised by:
- Reducing the steam load and demand on the auxiliary boiler to reduce firing temperatures.
- Ensuring hotwell feed temperatures are at the recommended 95°C to minimise oxygen levels in the feed.
- Minimise blowdown of boiler water, whilst ensuring chloride level is not excessive, to avoid loss of the boiler chemicals.
