Basic precautions before re-starting Boiler 2

[maypot]

Hi,

We had side wall damage on our Water Tubes boiler 90 T/Hr 35 Bar 475 Deg C at re-start after a stoppage of 30 mins. We presumed the damage was caused by sudden explosion due to accumulation of gas inside the furnace when fire was resumed on the boiler.
We are proposing to implement procedures after a hot re-start so that the accumulation of gas inside the boiler is exhausted by the ID Fan before firing back again.
Do these make sense ?

Bob,

Here is another mention of the tendency of stored bagasse to ferment (did I forget to mention stinking, too?)
