Sustainable Steam: Jönköping Energi’s HISS Project and its Impressive Results

In 2023, the Swedish power plant Jönköping Energi initiated a project that enabled them to increase their boiler load with biofuel. The outcome of that project was a significant increase in heat and electricity production. This however significantly increased their need for sootblowing. Introduction The project that enabled the green transition to more sustainable fuels was finished in the year of 2022. Doing an analysis of that project, Jönköping Energi concluded that they had increased their heat generation by 23 GWh more heat that reduced the need for more expensive fuels and 4 GWh increased electricity production. After the project that enabled the forementioned load increase, Jönköping discovered that even though they had to be sootblowing more as a consequence of increasing their boiler load, there was an add-on solution to their sootblowers that could save them time and steam for each cycle. The High Impact Sootblowing System (HISS®). Since 90% of the cleaning effect is done by the initial [...]

The Swedish Energy Agency recognizes the potential in Heat Management’s CleanTech Solutions

CleanTech for Pulp and Paper Mills with Financing From the Swedish Energy Agency Heat Management has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the development of fouling prevention in industrial boilers. CleanTech is our passion and to push our products and the value for customers beyond technical specification. By setting the standard for boiler performance with patented solutions, and not being content with how boiler cleaning has been done in the past we help the industry to reach a new level. This has now been recognized by the Swedish Energy Agency and an initiative to help pulp and paper mills invest in modern CleanTech solutions has been initiated. The need to optimize boiler cleaning operations A recovery boiler has heat transfer surfaces inside that are exposed to ashes in the flue gas. It is desirable to keep the fouling rate as low as possible to be able to operate the boiler for as long time per year as possible. It is [...]

Optimizing Power Boiler Performance Amid Volatile Energy Prices

In recent years, volatile energy prices have become the norm in Europe and across the globe, with a number of factors triggering what the EU is calling an unprecedented energy crisis. Gas prices increased more than 170% in 2021, and more than 150% between July 2021 and 2022. Factors contributing to increased energy prices include extreme climate conditions, higher gas consumption in Asia, greater scarcity of nuclear and hydropower electricity, and disruptions as a result of the war in Ukraine and Russia’s decision to cut gas supply to several EU countries. While higher demand and energy prices mean greater profitability for power plant operators, it also means more pressure on critical components such as the power boiler which, in turn, can lead to higher operating costs. By investing in solutions that increase the operational effectiveness of the power boiler and other infrastructure, power plant operators can cut down on costs while ensuring they keep up with performance demands. The critical [...]

Incredible Results found at Zellstoff Pöls AG

Evaluation of environmental investment “HISS™” at Zellstoff Pöls AG In 2020, Zellstoff Pöls AG made the investment to commission a sootblowing solution that were to be installed on all 86 of their sootblowers. The system had its startup in the beginning of 2021 and the project evaluation has now been finalized and it revealed incredible results. The High Impact Sootblowing System ™ (HISS ™ ), developed by Heat Management has garnered wide popularity in the Swedish pulp and paper mill industry. The technology has become a market leader in Sweden. Cellulose Pöls AG are the first in Austria to implement the system in their mill, and they are beginning to reap the benefits. The potential with implementing HISS ™ is beyond technical specification but some potential benefits nearly include halving the time and steam used in the sootblowing process and prolonging equipment life. The goal with the installation of HISS ™ was to reduce sootblowing steam consumption by at least [...]
