Optimized Steam Sootblowing

Upgrade your asset beyond technical specification. Sootblow more, with less steam

General info

Sootblow more, with less steam

More than 90% of the cleaning by a sootblower takes place during the sootblower’s initial stroke.

When the sootblower is retracted, 50% of the steam is used unnecessarily while the soft ash is sintered into concrete-like deposits.

With HISS® (High Impact Sootblowing System), several sootblowers can be operated in parallel with or without return steam, i.e. more sootblowing, less steam, more easily removed ash.

About HISS

HISS transforms your steam sootblowing system

The patented HISS® technology transforms your steam sootblowing system into an effective tool that handles clogging and increases the efficiency of your power and recovery boilers.

  • Halve your steam consumption
  • Increase your production of electricity
  • Double your sootblowing power
  • Use cheaper fuel

Works on all soot blower valves/brands. Rosink, Clyde Bergemann, Diamond Power etc.

New: Multi-position Actuator

Three positions. One retrofit.

Direct valve control that maintains Cooling Steam Flow in hot sections and switches to Full Cleaning Flow on demand—without replacing your existing mechanisms. Expect smoother runs, cleaner surfaces, reduced tube erosion due to condensate, and fewer surprises.

  • Prevent problems arising from worn out valve opening mechanism
  • Increase lifetime of lance and packing gland
  • Lowers steam valve wear
  • Increases boiler availability

Piloted at a Swedish paper mill.

BillerudKorsnäs Gruvön, Sweden

A case study and report from our HISS installation on the Recovery boiler at BillerudKorsnäs Gruvön. All 80 steam sootblowers were rebuilt in 2016 with Heat Managements patented solution using local actuator controlling the steam poppet valves on the sootblowers, together with upgraded software for monitoring/controlling the sootblowers.
