Iron Deposition on Waterwall Tubes During normal steam generator operation, condensate/feedwater piping and boiler tubes develop a layer of iron oxide, which, while being a corrosion product ...

Cortec® therefore encourages boiler owners and operators not to wait until a melted boiler tube forces them to face the facts of scale. Scale Impacts Boiler Performance. Scale forms when certain ...

In this hands-on Weekly Boiler Tip, (filmed at Boiler University) we examine welded, beaded, and flared tube ends.

In 1996 Unit 2 experienced ten tube failures. Each outage generally averaged two days and cost the plant an average $350,000. However, the majority of the cost was to replace the lost generation.

Boilers have to be cleaned regularly to keep power plants and other equipment operating efficiently because ash build-up forms slag deposits on the boiler tubes, acting like a layer of insulation ...

In a bent tube configuration the outer edge of a combustor is only about 6 feet from the boiler wall. Nestling multiple tubes optimizes cleaning while minimizing the device’s physical footprint.
