What is Intelligent Sootblowing?
Competition forces power generators
to burn lower cost and /or more environmentally acceptable
fuels to reduce production costs and emissions. A major impact
of this strategy can be an increase in slagging and ash
deposition. Although the savings
involved in fuel switching can be substantial, the changes
in boiler behaviour can also have major economic consequences.
By controlling the heat transfer in the boiler, the BCMS can
provide a more stable environment for the combustion process.
No two boilers operate in the same
manner, even though they may be adjacent to each other and
of identical design. Real time boiler variables change both,
) on a short-term day-to-day basis (e.g. change in coal type)
and, ) on a long-term deterioration basis between overhauls.
This problem is compounded by the
fact that, not only do global boiler variables affect overall
boiler slag deposition, but local changes (e.g. Burner tilt
change, mill group change, etc) also tend to make local boiler
areas unique. Therefore, intelligent systems using real time
heat transfer data can be very efficient at addressing local
slagging conditions.
