Chemical Cleaning of Pre-Boiler System
PRE-BOILER SYSTEM
OBJECTIVES
To remove dirt ,oil ,grease etc., from Condensate ,Feed
water, Drip and Extraction steam lines of HP and LP
heaters prior to putting these systems in regular service.
This is to ensure flow of clean condensate and feed water
to the boiler.
CLEANING METHOD
Pre-Mounting Cleaning
STEP- I
The demineralized water is heated upto 700c in the De-aerator
FST.
The Chemical solution prepared in reagent preparation plant is
mixed with the hot water in the De-aerator FST.

STEP II
CEPs are charged from water side by opening suction valve
and through proper venting, keeping discharge valve in closed
condition and suction strainer in position.
Flushing started by alternately starting and stopping CEPs and
completing the circulation from CEP discharge to CEP suction
line through recirculation line and condenser.

ACID CLEANING:
Acid cleaning is made using the same four circuits on which
water washing is made. To make closed circuit the de-aerator
is included into the scheme, in which cleaning solution can be
heated if required.
Reagents in liquid form, each by separate pipeline, are
supplied from reagent preparation plant into suction pipeline
of acid cleaning pump.
Minimum Hydrofluoric acid solution temperature is 200C and
optimum temperature is 400 C
Acid cleaning phase duration is 4-8 hours at temperature up to
400C
Hydrofluoric acid cleaning solution concentration is selected
depending on ferric oxide quantity in the circuit to be washed.
PASSIVATION:
Passivation of acid cleaned surface is carried out with
Hydrogen Peroxide solution added with ammonia.
Before passivation the acid cleaned surface is neutralized with
the circulation of ammonia solution.
Passivation is carried out with demineralized water under the
following conditions:
Hydrogen Peroxide concentration is 0.02%.
Ammonia Concentration is upto 0.8%.
Solution temperature is 400C.
Duration 4-6 hours.
Solution flow velocity is 0.3 to 0.5 m/s
