Which of the following procedures decreases the total dissolved solids concentration in the water of an auxiliary boiler?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Total dissolved solids (TDS) in boiler water and why they are a problem • How an auxiliary boiler’s water level and purity are controlled in operation • Difference between chemical treatment and physical removal of impurities

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: does this action physically remove dissolved solids from the boiler water, or does it just change their chemical form or prevent corrosion/scale? • Think about which procedure is normally done routinely during operation to keep TDS within limits on the boiler-water test log. • Consider how dissolved solids actually leave the boiler: through steam, through blowdown, or by some other path?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly reduces the concentration of dissolved solids in the boiler drum water itself, not just treats feedwater or condensate. • Recall standard boiler-room practices: which of these is regularly logged and adjusted to control boiler-water TDS? • Make sure you distinguish between procedures used for maintenance/cleaning when shut down and those used while the boiler is in service.
