The Clayton AWARE Program will help you do the following: • Maintain equipment integrity • Prevent scale and corrosion • Conserve water, chemical, and energy resources • Optimize the efficiency of your Clayton steam generator / fluid heater

In this program, Clayton forms a partnership with its chemical customers to achieve the above stated benefits. Consult your local Clayton Chemical Consultant or the Cincinnati Laboratory for details. 3.3.5 Steam Generator/ Fluid Heater Start-up Using Coil Guard 1 & 2 Prior to initial start-up of the Clayton steam generator / fluid heater, it is critical to ensure that all personnel are well trained in the proper operation of the unit and in its proper chemical treatment. To initiate a quality water management program, Clayton Industries has developed Coil Guard 1 and Coil Guard 2 to ensure the generator and feedwater systems are properly cleaned and passivated. Coil Guard 1 is designed for new Steam Generators/Fluid Heaters and new coils. It is used to conduct a boil out procedure to remove residual mill scale, oil, and dirt, which may remain after manufac- ture. Ensuring a clean metal surface will aid in minimizing problems from scale and corrosion after start- up.
