4.6 BOILER INTERNAL INSPECTION
Drain and isolate the boiler before carrying out an internal inspection of the boiler.
The lower hand hole and man hole doors should be removed after one month of operation and
the interior of the boiler thoroughly examined, paying particular attention to the junction with the
front tube plate and tubes for signs of pitting. If scale or sludge build-up is observed, it should be
removed and the water treatment supplier advised.
During normal operation the front ends of the turbulators will be burnt off, this is normal and not a
cause for concern.

Subsequent interior examinations should be carried out on a regular basis until satisfactory
conditions are observed. Thereafter, inspections should be carried out at three monthly intervals.
