I. OUT LINE 1. GENERAL The internal surfaces of the economizer and steam generating sections (hereafter referred to as the boiler) should be cleaned to remove dirt, oil, grease and protective coatings. The company does not require acid cleaning of the unit as an initial clean out of the unit. This initial clean out of the unit is to be accomplished by means of a degreasing flush. Since commercial degreasing formulations and concentrations. At ambient temperature, approximately 25C (77F), the suggested degreasing concentration in the flush water is 0.6% by volume (6 liters of liquid degreasing per 1000 liters of flushing solution). For cleaning solutions heated to above 65C (150F), the suggested degreasing concentration in the flush water is 0.5% by volume. Higher (or lower) concentrations may be used, depending on the type of degreasing considered, plant-specific design conditions and vendor recommendations.

II. SOP 1. DEGREASING/FLUSHING PROCESS a. Preparation work. b. Install all the hoses and circulating pump needed to water supply valve, boiler, and chemical tank. c. Open the boiler manhole on the top of the boiler.

d. Fill the boiler with demineralized water until boiler operating water level. e. Heat the water in the boiler up to 60 70C (Steam/hot water by Nestle). f. Circulating the water for 45 minutes and maintain the water temperature at 60 70C during the circulating period. g. Shut off boiler and drain the water from the boiler system. h. Refill the boiler with demineralized water until boiler operating water level. i. Heat the water in the boiler up to 60 70C. j. Inject 10-20% Magna 106 (Emulsion Degreaser) needed gradually into the boilers manhole, and maintain the water temperature at 60 70C. k. Check the boiler: the water pH, TDS/Conductivity, Calcium (Total Hardness), Silica, Iron, Grease Content and water clearness by visual inspection. l. For every next 30 minutes check the water pH, TDS/Conductivity, Calcium (Total Hardness), Silica, Iron, Grease Content and water clearness by visual inspection. m. Boiler retubing degreasing process usually will last at 6 8 hours. It would depend on the oil film in the tubing. n. When the degreasing process ended, drain all the water from boiler. o. Flush the boiler with demineralized water, until the drained water from blowdown lineclean. p. Check the pH of the water taken from the demineralized water supply valve and the pH of the water taken from blowdown line. It should be same. q. Until this step the degreasing process could be ended. Note : Degreasing/Flushing Process just remove grease/oil content, dirt and light corrosion from carbon/stainless steel pipe system. Its not remove Hard Scale (Carbonate/Silica Scale & Hard Corrosion from Carbon Steel pipe. So, Visual inspection from Degreasing Process is not change surface metal and its not make Carbon Steel clean (Natural carbon steel color before scale & corrosion). For make Carbon Steel clean (Natural carbon steel color before scale & corrosion) we need one process again after Degreasing/Flushing. That process is Acid Cleaning or Pickling Process.

2. PASSIVATING PROCESS a. Inject 2-5% of Magna 700 (Passivating Agent) as passivating agent needed into boiler via manhole. b. Check the pH, TDS and Nitrite concentration in the boiler water. c. Heat the water up to 60 70C, and maintain the temperature during the circulation period. d. Monitor the pH, TDS and Nitrite concentration in the boiler water on a 30 minutes basis. e. After 1 hour, inject the remaining passivating (Magna 700) into the boiler via manhole. f. Check the pH, TDS and Nitrite concentration in the boiler water. g. Monitor the pH, TDS and Nitrite concentration in the boiler water on a 30 minutes basis. h. Circulate continously for about 2 hours. i. Once the duration of circulation indicates the completion of the passivating process, drain the boiler water, and flushed the boiler with demineralized water. j. Fill the boiler with demineralized water up to boiler water operating level. k. Inject the water treatment chemicals needed to prevent the future scalling and corrosion. Note : Passivating Process is needed for carbon steel after cleaning to protective carbon steel for corrosion process later. Oxygen and water content in piping are main substance caused corrosion. Passivating Agent can give protection by forming light filming on carbon steel metal and inhibit oxygen and water contact with metal.
