runs at 50-60 psi. Stack temperature was 390degrees F with a furnace temp at
406 degrees F. All three kilns were operating. The biennial tune-up was
performed on 12/13/2017 by Beckner Boiler and Supply Co. Next one due by
01/13/2020.
b) Multi-cyclone, CD-2: Operating at 5%VE. Last inspection performed on
5/15/2019 as recorded in logbook.
