Cost Comparison To Other Boiler
Lay-up Methods
Notes:
1) Desiccant is not a corrosion inhibitor, but indirectly protects metal from corrosion by eliminating moisture. Desiccant needs to be replaced and is typically designed only to handle moisture level from ambient air, not water ingress. This method relies purely on eliminating all moisture.
2) Sulfite + caustic solution must be replenished with time, consequently cost will likely be higher than shown plus the manpower required to check levels. This method does not protect surfaces not in contact with solution. This wet method is not preferred for long term storage/mothballing.
