Boiler lay-up is performed for many reasons but always with one main objective: to keep the boiler in good condition until it is time to put it back into operation. Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors can help make this process safer and easier.
Boilers used for steam and energy production, or operations such as washing, are sometimes taken offline for inspection and maintenance, or kept for backup use. Another common time for boilers to be out of service is during shipment or while in storage at a new plant still under construction.
