One of the principal causes of pressure part damage in fossil boilers both utility and industrial is tube damage by corrosion either on the fireside or waterside. The incidence of this damage is reported to be a significant loss of availability of this component in utility power cycles. This is an economic concern and it is believed that the involved costs can be materially reduced by careful attention to the care of the boiler watersides both during operation and down-time.
