Boiler Inspection

Purpose: Inspect for issues with boiler that would cause a performance issue within the next 8 years

What I did: Inspect and write up punch lists Outcomes: Issues found and prioritize to be

fixed for this outage or the next

Page 9: Ackerman presentation

Chemical Clean

Purpose: remove iron in boiler done every 10-15 years

Chemicals from HydroChem 4% Hydroxyacetic acid 2% Formic Acid

My scope of work Revision of Procedure Time of Chemical Clean: tell operators when

to open and close valves

Without the Analyzers

High possibility that ions will slip through the exhausted resin

Causes damage to turbine
