Many recovery boilers require high steam flow rates to the sootblowers to try to remove the ash at the same rate it accumulates. On heavily loaded boilers this is often beyond the capacity of the sootblowers, even with high efficiency nozzles.

Clyde Bergemann Anthony-Ross solutions enable you to reduce carry over and upper furnace gas temperatures, helping to decrease sootblowing costs while maintaining or increasing runtime.

~ The Clyde Bergemann Anthony-Ross Stacked Air System™ (patent pending) is proven to reduce carry over and upper furnace temperatures. This reduces the rate of accumulation of carry over on the upper furnace heat transfer surfaces (superheaters and generating bank) and helps to keep the gas temperature below the “sticky ash” temperature.

~ Depending on the ash chemistry and the furnace gas temperature, the material accumulating on the tubes can melt and sinter together, becoming very sticky and difficult to remove from the tubes. 

~ Lower gas temperatures inhibit the sintering and stickiness of the ash keeping it friable and easy to remove by the sootblowers. Because less material accumulates and the material is easier to remove, less sootblowing steam is required to keep the upper furnace clean.

As part of the Clyde-Bergemann Power Group (sootblower manufacturers), we have sootblowing experts on our staff who will help ensure that you achieve a significant reduction in sootblowing.
