to service on September 20", 2003. The report includes the Inspection filed findings and
completed repairs along with Post T&d recommendations.
The internal visual inspection was performed and revealed that the boiler’s tubes, drums,
headers and the associated equipment were cleaned and in good condition with no sign of
pitting or corrosion on the tube ends. The corrosion rate as evaluated on the basis of the
Corrosion coupons was determined to be negligible, (Max 0.16 mils in steam drum and 0.41
mils in water drum).
If additional information is required, please call M.H. Quraish on 673-1930

1. Anticipate refractory repairs around the burners and at the knuckle area using A.P green
cast 94.
2. Cut-out two (2) sample tube sections, one from the screen tubes and one (1) from the
water wall tubes for scale density and corrosion evaluation as will be marked by Inspection.
3, Plan to wash out the seal welding from the existing hand hole plugs for inspection as per
the CSD to inspect the internal surfaces of the headers.
4, Remove the safety valves to the relief Valve Shop for servicing and testing and performs a
hot pop test after start-up.
5. Plan to have a procedure from ROED/Utilities for cleaning the superheater tube
external surfaces.
