Energy power and process plants face daily challenges in keeping production at optimal and consistent levels. This is especially true in plants where steam and heat play a crucial role such as in energy from waste, biomass, paper mills, zinc factories, petrochemical, process industry, melting plants and cement industry. These industries continuously fine-tune their process to sustain high productivity.
Maintenance and industrial cleaning are fundamental to ensure stability and optimal performance. One way of doing this is by ensuring the delta-T (Temperature) values are kept stable. Maintaining the flue gas inlet and exit temperature across each tube bundle at a constant is critical in smooth plant operations. Changes in the delta-T or imbalances across the tube bundles will increase downstream temperatures increasing flue gas treatment costs and potentially compromise plant efficiency and performance.
The most like cause of reduced delta-T is contamination in the system, such as fouling and ash buildup. By conducting straightforward analysis during operation and implementing targeted online cleaning, costly shutdowns can be averted, and production can be restored to desired levels.
Online Cleaning Technologies offer innovative shockwave technology that can be applied while the installation remains fully operational. Additionally, these services can provide safety cleaning prior to planned shutdowns. These cleaning methods are particularly beneficial for energy-from-waste plants, biomass facilities, smelters, refineries, coal-fired power stations, and peat-fired power plants.
