Fuel oil additives containing aluminum, supplied as a dispersion of magnesium, manganese and aluminum, have been used effectively to control boiler fouling and corrosion. This paper reviews the chemistry of sodium/vanadium deposits and discusses the use of chemical additives in dealing with the problem. It presents the results of a fuel treatment program to solve combustion problems at Sierra Pacific Power Corp. 9 refs.
