DEGREASING PROCEDURE:
For removal of light to heavy contamination resulting from ingress of oil due to defective machinery, equipment seals, or bunker or cargo tank heating coils. A. Determine the source of oil contamination and take appropriate steps to eliminate the problem prior to initiating the cleaning operation. B. Inspect boiler interior as thoroughly as possible to determine the approximate degree of contamination (i.e. light, moderate, heavy). While boiler is open, muck out as much oil and oily sludge found in boiler as possible before closing the boiler up. You are also recommended to plug down comers, if present, to allow circulation through main tubes of boiler. Install external circulation pump to circulate cleaning solution from water drum back to steam drum. Make all necessary connections. C. Secure inspection access openings and introduce the appropriate amount Of Seaclean Plus and fresh water based on the estimated degree of contamination as follows. Ensure all boiler internals needed to be cleaned. Degree of % by Volume of Contamination Seaclean Plus in Water Light 12 % Seaclean Plus 10% Moderate 23 % Heavy* 35 %
* If contamination is particularly heavy, Seaclean Plus can be substituted by Carbon Remover at the rate of about 10 % by volume.

D. If circulation pump is being used, start circulating solution. Fire the boiler for about 5 minutes, then secure for 1520 minutes. Continue this process until the water temperature reaches 5060 C. Do not allow the temperature to go above 60 C. Continue this operation for about 12 hours.

E. Drain the boiler. F. Rinse thoroughly with high-pressure water (with heat if available). G. Drain and inspect as thoroughly as possible. H. If necessary, repeat steps 3 through 7. I. Secure all access openings and fill with feed water. Remove plugs from down comer if this method was employed. J. Startup initial dosage of treatment chemicals and initiate boiler operation. K. Monitor treatment residuals and adjust as necessary to bring boiler water treatment programme employed into proper specification. L. Add 250 ml Unitor Boiler Coagulant every 12 hours and increase blow down to remove any excess oil that remains for at least one week after the unit is returned to service.
