Pick out the wrong statement. A. Caustic embrittlement of boiler's metallic parts is caused by high concentration of caustic soda in boiler feed water___________________?

Correct answer: A. Cooling and freezing of water kills the bacteria present in it

  • A. Cooling and freezing of water kills the bacteria present in it
  • B. With increasing boiler operating pressure of steam, the maximum allowable concentration of
  • C. silica in feed water goes on decreasing
  • D. Dissolved oxygen content in high pressure boiler feed water should be nil

Explanation

Cooling or freezing does not reliably kill all bacteria, so statement a is wrong. Silica limits become stricter at higher pressure, and dissolved oxygen should be essentially eliminated from high-pressure boiler feedwater to prevent corrosion.
