The use of soda ash for the removal of combustion deposits from the external
surfaces of boilers has proved extremely successful to the point where this method
has been adopted by the majority of the world’s naval and merchant ships.
This video will enable all those who are involved, or about to be involved, in the
cleaning of water tube boilers to have an understanding of all the stages and thus
ensure that the operation is completed as per the boiler manufacturers’
recommendations so that the ship can return to service or full speed and carry out
efficiently the tasks for which she was designed.
This video covers, in step-by-step detail, all the stages of keeping an internal boiler
clean using the rotating brush method with Elliott Tube Cleaning Equipment.
In addition to all the stages of tube cleaning the film examines the full list of
equipment and protective clothing required, the initial preparation of the boiler both
internally and externally, the procedure for entry into the boiler, procedures for
marking and logging equipment, and the procedure for sighting tubes after cleaning,
using sighting balls.
