    Bottom blowdown involves periodically opening valves in the mud drum to allow boiler pressure to force accumulated sludge out of the boiler. Similar blowdown connections at the bottom of water wall headers are blown down less frequently. [4] Several short blowdown events remove sludge more effectively than a single continuous blowdown.
