Intelligent Sootblower Control Systems for Efficient Power Generation

 

Boiler Cleaning Management System

The heat transfer surfaces are a major factor in the economies of fossil fuelled boilers. Poor heat transfer conditions seriously affect economic boiler operation. In a typical boiler even a small fraction of efficiency loss due to unguided heat transfer control and operation can be translated into significant financial losses. BMS have many examples where substantial savings in both efficiency and emissions have been achieved

In order for an ISB system to achieve optimum efficiency it must be engineered to match the requirements of the plant. The boiler design, fuel, slagging and fouling characteristics, unit load cycle and compliment of sootblowers must be considered in order to determine the level of sophistication required for sootblowing optimisation and sootblower control.

A combination of direct measurements and cleanliness factor calculations are used in the appropriate boiler regions to provide sootblowing optimisation. It has been found that direct measurements are required in the furnace, while cleanliness factor calculations are appropriate in the convection regions.

All the described sootblowing optimisation approaches integrate directly into the sootblower control system. No additional monitors or processors are needed, operator advisories and automated sootblowing are available from the same operator interface used by the base sootblower control system.
