Questions to verify at your plant

These are decision checks, not operating instructions. Resolve them through local risk assessment, technical review, and authorization.

  1. 01

    Confirm tower identity and firing logic; track cleanout frequency and exposure hours.

  2. 02

    What equipment, materials and operating conditions differ at your plant?

  3. 03

    What baseline and follow-up evidence would establish whether this change works locally?
