Maintenance of clean internal heat transfer surfaces is critical for the safe, efficient operation of boiler equipment. Boiler treatment chemistry has been refined over many decades to promote clean corrosion free internal waterside conditions. However, minimizing boiler feedwater contamination and maintaining required boiler water treatment residuals remain essential prerequisites to clean boiler operation. Improved monitoring techniques or systems can contribute greatly to improved control of boiler operation and the cleanliness of boiler internal surfaces.
