local environmental regulations. Use care in removing and reinstalling these valves. All other
openings shall be closed off.
3. All valves in the piping leading to and from the boiler must be closed to prevent cleaning solution
from getting into the system.
4. Fill Pressure vessel with soft water* to the normal water line. Add the SBT-710 and then fill to
the top.
5. The boiler should then be fired intermittently at a low rate sufficient to hold the solution just at
the boiling point. Maintain this temperature for a minimum of twelve (12) to twenty-four (24)
hours to allow sufficient time for the removal of all dirt, oil and grease from the internal boiler
surfaces. Do not produce steam pressure.
6. Add a small amount of fresh water to the boiler to create a slight overflow that will carry off
surface impurities.
7. Maintain temperature and overflow until water clears of impurities. Do not produce steam
pressure.
8. Shut down the burner and permit the boiler to cool to 120º F then drain boiler. Use caution that
the hot water is discharged with safety.
9. Remove inspection plugs and wash the waterside surfaces thoroughly using a high-pressure water
system.
10. Inspect internal surfaces and repeat steps four (4) through nine (9) if necessary.
NOTE: Plates near the sidewalls are usually the last to boil out because the temperature of the flue gas
passing over them is lower.
11. All inspection plugs and any other openings shall be closed except a vent line. Fill the boiler
immediately to prevent flash corrosion. Fire boiler until water is heated to at least 180ºF to drive
off any dissolved gases that may corrode the metal.
12. On initial firing of the system, the condensate should be discarded until tests show the elimination
of undesirable impurities. Proper Water Treatment must be maintained at all times to prevent
scale and corrosion in the boiler and condensate return lines. See your water treatment
professional for the program that best fits your needs.
13. Connect a vent pipe to the safety relief valve port on the boiler and run this vent to a drain.
14. Fire the boiler at a low rate for three (3) to four (4) hours allowing the steam to discharge through
the vent pipe (installed in place of the safety relief valve if necessary).
15. Drain the boiler while still warm. Remove inspection plugs. Wash interior of boiler with tap water
at full pressure through a nozzle. Wash until all evidence of dirt, mud, and impurities are removed
through the inspection plug opening. Clean any shell mounted probe holders.
16. When the boiler is so equipped, remove water level prove holder(s), and check for contamination
that may have been caused by the boiler out chemicals. Clean the water side surfaces of the probe
