Proper Maintenance of Boiler

Boiler is a type of industrial machinery commonly found in large-scale industries and is one of the key processes in production. This type of machinery carries high risks, including potential boiler explosions that can cause severe damage to life and property. The main cause of boiler explosions is usually a lack of technical expertise by operators, insufficient maintenance, and improper cleaning. Therefore, it is essential to have a planned maintenance and cleaning routine for boilers regularly. In addition to improving operational safety, proper cleaning helps extend the boiler's lifespan and contributes to fuel energy savings. The following are common methods for cleaning various boiler components.

1. Mechanical Cleaning – Using wire brushes or plastic brushes to remove soot and dust from the pipe surfaces. This method is mostly applied to fire tubes.
2. Chemical Cleaning – This method is suitable for cleaning curved pipes, is cost-effective, and efficient. It involves using acidic cleaning agents followed by rinsing with clean water and then a soda solution to absorb any remaining chemicals inside the boiler.
  This is followed by a final rinse with clean water.
3. Ultrasonic Cleaning – Using high-frequency sound waves to break down scale buildup on the boiler walls.
