Our contractor has recently started up the boilers without any amine injection and they say it is "Okay", is that really good?

hi, SAMSahil. Not sure if you have the same rising-film evaporator as ours. The boilers may work without enough amine but it's not that good. Amine is the solvent to provide the " rising" drive to the liquid. Less amine may affect the performance and lead to fouling, etc.
