Heat Management Landed 3 new Purchase Orders During the Summer of 2024!

Introduction During the summer vacation, we have kept ourselves busy! Our salespeople and project teams have worked cleverly during the warmer months, bringing in more exciting opportunities. This growth in our future references will allow us to expand as a company and keep adding value to both new and recurring customers who explore the rest of our solutions portfolio. The following purchase orders have come through this summer: High Impact Sootblowing System (HISS™) July: A pulp and paper mill in Brazil Carryover Early Warning SystemJuly: A pulp and paper mill in Sweden. A recurring customer who also has HISSTM Infrasound cleaningAugust: A Waste-to-Energy plant in Germany, Steinmüller Engineering provides another infrasound cleaner, which will mark the end-customer’s fifth Infrasound cleaner. Brazil Our new Brazilian customer ordered HISS™ in late July. This second HISS™ project in Brazil will be an essential reference for Heat Management in the South American market. The project's goal is to save steam for the customer since [...]

Mitigating NOx Penalties: The Role of Heat Management’s Solutions

NOx penalties and why it is essential to understand them. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) represent a significant environmental challenge, primarily due to their harmful impacts on air quality and contribution to the formation of ground-level ozone and acid rain. Regulatory bodies worldwide have implemented stringent NOx emission standards, leading to the imposition of penalties on facilities that exceed these limits. This article explores the phenomenon of NOx emissions, their environmental impacts, and how Heat Management's patented High Impact Sootblowing System (HISS™) and Infrasound cleaning can aid facilities in reducing these emissions and associated penalties. The Challenge of NOx Emissions Nitrogen Oxides are a group of gases primarily produced during combustion processes at high temperatures. NOx emissions concern various industries, particularly those relying on combustion plants, such as power and heat plants, pulp mills, and marine boilers. The primary sources include vehicles, industrial processes, and energy production, with power- and recovery boilers in the industrial sector being significant contributors. The environmental [...]

Record Number of Orders in the year of 2023 for Infrasound Cleaning Systems

Heat Management’s Infrasound cleaners has been exceptionally popular historically in Sweden, which is its country of origin. The acoustic cleaner has satisfied its users for years, but in the last few years the demand outside of Sweden has grown exponentially. This has led to a record year for Heat Management, having a lot of Infrasound cleaners to install and commission all over the world, especially in Asia. New exciting partnership in Southeast Asia Our sales manager in Thailand, Thierry Magne, has signed a partnership with Eco Plant Services (EPS) who has been providing our acoustic cleaning solution to the market. Heat Management has received multiple orders in Thailand with the help of our new partner. With the continued collaboration with EPS and Heat Management, anything is possible, which makes the market in Thailand look very promising. The end-users have been everything from cement plants, coal fired boilers to smoke tube boilers. Together we’re building success stories together with our [...]

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 (HISSTM). Since 90% of the cleaning effect is done by the initial [...]

Acoustic Cleaning: A Step to Constant Boiler Availability

Plugging and reduced heat transfer When being exposed to fouling, heat-transferring surfaces lose effectiveness over time due to scaling and buildup. This keeps power boilers from reaching their full potential. To unlock the potential of the boiler, it requires cleaning. One way that most plants around the world do this is by manually cleaning the desired area during a designated stoppage. This, however, poses a major loss in energy production. In this section we present three plants that had major issues with this before implementing acoustic cleaning. Click on their name to download an in-depth case study: Mälarenergi, Kraftvärmet Block 6: A Swedish waste-to-energy plant that had to stop their boiler operation, to sandblast the economizer every 3-6 months. Sandviksverket, Växjö: A Swedish CFB boiler, fuelled by biomass, that reduced their sootblowing steam consumption by 50% in the air preheater and economizer. The acoustic cleaner also fully eliminated the need to sootblow in the catalyst. EEW Delfzijl, Holland; [...]

Unveiling the Silent Culprit: Increased Fuel Consumption due to Fouling

The combustion boiler is at the heart of many operations. Whether it’s a power boiler operating in a combined heating plant or a recovery boiler in a pulp and paper mill. They enable processes to run smoothly and efficiently if maintained right. The boilers have a universal enemy that not only affect their efficiency but also the bottom line– fouling. One of the most overlooked consequences to heavy fouling Is increased fuel consumption. It is therefore important to mitigate the issue before the consequences get unbearable. Why does fuel consumption increase due to fouling? The overall performance of the boiler relies heavily on efficient heat exchange. The heat must flow from combustion chambers to water, generating steam that is essential for different processes in the combustion plant. The deposit buildup on boiler surfaces disturbs the heat exchange, this notion is well documented and fairly agreed upon. The hidden culprit though, is that in order to maintain the same steam [...]
