Specialized Boiler Tuning and Testing
As more emphasis is placed on being the low cost producer and working to reduce NOX at the same time, many clients have made major modifications to combustion equipment, changed their operating practice or changed fuel supply.
Many times, these modifications result in a boiler that is less forgiving to non-optimum performance or creates different challenges, such as:
• Reduced unit capacity
• High stack opacity
• Furnace and convection pass slagging or fouling
• High carbon content in the flyash
Innovative Combustion Technologies, Inc. is recognized worldwide for helping our clients achieve the best possible boiler performance, operation and reliability.
