This document discusses maintaining reliability and availability of boilers and heat recovery steam generators. It notes that rapid start/stop operation, load changes, and furnace chemistry changes can reduce reliability and availability over time due to less opportunity for inspection and maintenance. To help address this, the document recommends lengthening inspection intervals, effectively reviewing documentation and history, and establishing a minimum scope of work for maintenance, inspection, repair and replacement.
