Condition Audit for Aalborg boilers

Periodic inspections of a boiler or waste heat recovery system in the form of a Condition Audit for Alfa Laval Aalborg boilers are a smart way to handle preventive maintenance and to protect uptime against common boiler failures.

A Condition Audit for Aalborg boilers determines the actual condition of your boiler system, identifying service needs before they impair performance or cause an unplanned shutdown. The information the inspection provides can be used to take corrective actions, but also to optimize maintenance schedules for performance and reliability. 

A Condition Audit can also be used as pre-inspection in preparation for major repair work.

Condition Audit can be performed anywhere in the world and are carried out on board by a skilled Alfa Laval field service engineer. Our experts are able to inspect boilers of any type or brand.
