Thermax Limited Shift Incharge Interview Questions and Answers

Updated 1 Jun 2025

11 Interview questions

A Shift Incharge was asked 9mo ago
Q. Which chemical would you use to remove scale from a boiler?
Ans. 

Boiler scale can be treated using chemicals like phosphates, sulfamic acid, or citric acid to dissolve and prevent buildup.

  • Phosphates: Used to prevent scale formation by sequestering calcium and magnesium ions.

  • Sulfamic Acid: Effective for descaling and removing hard deposits from boiler surfaces.

  • Citric Acid: A biodegradable option that can dissolve scale and is less corrosive.

A Shift Incharge was asked 9mo ago
Q. What causes boiler scale buildup?
Ans. 

Boiler scale formation is caused by mineral deposits from water, leading to efficiency loss and potential damage.

  • Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which precipitate and form scale.

  • Temperature increases in the boiler can accelerate scale formation, as seen in high-pressure systems.

  • Poor water treatment practices can lead to inadequate removal of scale-forming minerals.

  • Examples include calcium...

A Shift Incharge was asked 9mo ago
Q. What is the hardness level of boiler feed water?
Ans. 

Boiler feed water should ideally have low hardness to prevent scaling and corrosion, typically below 100 ppm.

  • Hardness in water is mainly due to calcium and magnesium ions.

  • High hardness can lead to scale formation on boiler tubes, reducing efficiency.

  • Feed water hardness should ideally be below 100 ppm for optimal boiler operation.

  • Water softening techniques, like ion exchange, are often used to reduce hardness.

  • For e...

A Shift Incharge was asked 9mo ago
Q. How do you charge a softener?
Ans. 

Softener charge involves adding the right amount of salt and water to regenerate the resin beads in a water softener system.

  • Check the salt level in the brine tank; it should be at least half full.

  • Add the appropriate type of salt (rock salt, solar salt, or evaporated salt) to the tank.

  • Ensure the water level in the brine tank is sufficient to dissolve the salt.

  • Run a regeneration cycle to allow the softener to rechar...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. Describe the safety settings and explain which safety valve would activate first and why.
Ans. 

Safety valves are designed to prevent overpressure in a system by releasing excess pressure. The valve that pops up first is typically the one set to the lowest pressure threshold.

  • Safety valves are set at different pressure thresholds to ensure that the system does not exceed its maximum pressure capacity.

  • The safety valve that pops up first is usually the one set to the lowest pressure threshold, as it will activa...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. What is a Hydro test?
Ans. 

A hydro test evaluates the integrity of pressure vessels by filling them with water and checking for leaks or weaknesses.

  • Hydro testing is commonly used for pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels.

  • The process involves filling the vessel with water and pressurizing it to a specified level.

  • It helps identify leaks, weak points, or structural failures in the equipment.

  • For example, a gas pipeline may undergo hydro testin...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. How many types of bearings are there?
Ans. 

There are several types of bearings used in various industries.

  • There are two main categories of bearings: plain bearings and rolling bearings.

  • Rolling bearings can be further classified into ball bearings and roller bearings.

  • Ball bearings include deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, and thrust ball bearings.

  • Roller bearings include cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, spherical ...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. MOC of superheaters coils.
Ans. 

MOC of superheater coils refers to the material of construction used for the coils in a superheater.

  • Common materials of construction for superheater coils include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel.

  • The choice of MOC depends on factors such as operating temperature, pressure, and corrosive environment.

  • Regular inspection and maintenance of superheater coils are essential to ensure optimal performance and...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. Water treatment of DM water and Drum water speciation.
Ans. 

Water treatment of DM water and Drum water speciation involves processes to remove impurities and ensure water quality.

  • DM water treatment involves processes like reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and UV sterilization to remove impurities.

  • Drum water speciation involves analyzing the chemical composition of water in drums to ensure it meets required standards.

  • Both processes are crucial in industries like pharmaceutical...

A Shift Incharge was asked
Q. Cooling system and working principle of cooling tower.
Ans. 

Cooling towers are heat rejection devices that use water to remove heat from a process or system.

  • Cooling towers work on the principle of evaporation, where heat is transferred from the water to the air through the process of evaporation.

  • The hot water from the system is pumped to the top of the cooling tower, where it is distributed over the fill media to increase the surface area for evaporation.

  • As the water evapo...
