Question:

Do industrial boilers run 24 hours a day?

I am writing a paper on pollution and would like to know if industrial coal burning boilers run all day.Thanks.

Answer:

Industrial plant boilers run 24 hours a day to sustain steam requirements for a processing plant.
Yes, Boilers used in the Utilty industry may run for up to a year without coming off line. Maintenace outages are scheduled and the boilers will be taken out of service for maintenance or upgrades usually one time during the year unless some problem developes.
