This is a method of storing boilers full of water so that they can be readily returned to service. it involves adding extra chemicals (usually caustic, organics, and sodium sulphite to the boiler-water.) The water level is raised in the idle boiler to eliminate air spaces and the boiler is kept completely full of treated water. Special considerations are needed for protecting superheaters.
