Summary
Heat Management recently released and received its first order for a patented system that can, for example, detect black liquor carryover in pulp mill recovery boilers. Such an automatic method has never been used before, allowing mills to monitor combustion in a new and unique way. By doing so, preventive measures can be taken at an early stage before possible combustion-related issues worsen.
Background
Heat Management is a recognized expert in fouling management and prevention, and its various solutions have garnered a wide range of customers in the heat, power and paper industry. Approximately 70% of all pulp and paper mills in Sweden, the company's home country, have adopted its flagship solution, the High Impact Sootblowing System (HISSTM). We have now invented a system that can help Pulp and Paper mills detect deviations in the combustions at an early stage.
The system aims to provide recovery boilers with increased efficiency and availability, combined with minimized sootblowing steam consumption, safe boiler operation, and low maintenance. Carryover in black liquor is problematic and can lead to boiler heat transfer surfaces fouling. This type of measuring aims to detect these combustion deviations in time before they become a bigger problem. This way of working has never been done before, and we're proud to continue bringing new solutions to the market.
Martin Ellebro, CTO of Heat Management and Product Manager for the new Carryover Early Warning System says,“This is a new and exciting approach for improved fouling management, by not only optimizing the sootblowing systems but also avoiding combustion related issues.”
Some features of the new system:
Safe:
- No personnel in the boiler house are necessary
- No new openings in the boiler
- No need to lock out sootblowers
Automatic:
- Low maintenance, no human intervention
- Automatically takes a photo of a sootblower lance and analyzes it after the sootblowers returns from its stroke.
Advantages of the Carryover Early Warning System:
- Increased efficiency and availability
- Minimized sootblowing consumption
- Safe operations and low maintenance
