Intelligent Recovery Boiler Cleaning Management-A Tiered Approach to Saving Steam while Improving Boiler Cleanliness

摘要

A tiered approach has been developed to increase recovery boiler cleanliness while concurrently decreasing sootblower steam consumption. This approach includes the following five tiers: intelligent clean/dirty determination, adaptive cleaning management, flexible controls, high performance hardware, and continuous assessment. Each tier reduces steam consumption and increases boiler cleanliness in a different manner. This paper discusses the features and the benefits of a tiered cleaning approach over the traditional approach to recovery boiler cleaning.
