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 also important to keep the heat transfer surfaces clean to the utmost extent in order to have high boiler efficiency and to use as little steam for sootblowing as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/heatmanage.com\/de\/anwendungen\/schwarzlaugendampfkessel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schwarzlaugendampfkessel<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is at the very heart of pulp and paper mills operations, it is important to investigate new ways of optimizing operations. Typically, <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/heatmanage.com\/de\/losungen\/optimierte-dampfrusblasenbildung\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steam sootblowing<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses 5-10% of the produced steam from the recovery boiler to clean the heat exchangers. Therefore, there is great potential for savings and improvements from optimizing these systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Our current solutions for fouling prevention<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fouling leads to lower energy efficiency, preventing this has always been a Heat Managements specialty through the Infrasound cleaning system and in later years, also the <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/heatmanage.com\/de\/losungen\/optimierte-dampfrusblasenbildung\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hochimpact-Ru\u00dfbl\u00e4ser-System<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heatmanage.com\/de\/losungen\/infraschallreinigung\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Infraschallreinigung<\/em><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses a low-frequency sound to remove the accumulated deposits from boiler surfaces. Our infrasound cleaners have been proven to improve the profitability of boilers because of more efficient soot cleaning, reducing, or eliminating the need for traditional methods such as steam soot blowing and manual cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The patented <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/heatmanage.com\/de\/losungen\/optimierte-dampfrusblasenbildung\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hochimpact-Ru\u00dfbl\u00e4ser-System<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>)<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> disrupts the \u201chow we have always done it\u201d approach to energy-intensive steam sootblowing.
