About Biomass boilers
Biofuels offer challenges in order to reach high efficiency and availability. Biofuel normally tends to create gas-side fouling in all parts of the boiler.
About cleaning
Benefits of our soot cleaning systems for Biomass boilers
Reduced steam consumption for steam sootblowing. Saved sootblower steam is used for increasing heat or electricity production.
Lower fuel consumption. Cleaner tubes mean increased heat transfer and efficiency.
Lower and more stable differential pressure. Infrasound cleaning reaches areas that are not accessible to conventional soot cleaning systems. This means higher availability of the boiler and lower load on ID/FD fans.
Fewer and shorter outages for manual cleaning. With improved cleaning effect you can obtain higher availability and fewer man-hours spent.
Increased lifetime of heat exchangers. By reducing or eliminating steam sootblowing or shot cleaning, the lifetime of heat exchangers is prolonged. Infrasound cleaning is a non-abrasive cleaning method that does not wear on heat exchange surfaces or catalyst elements and does not contribute to corrosion or erosion. Using our optimized steam sootblowing also reduces wear since steam is supplied only half the time.

Setra Heby Sawmill
The Customer has a 16MWth biomass furnace with a hot water smoke tube boiler and subsequent economizer in Heby, Sweden. Their focus is mainly on delivery to all lumber dryers, and the facilities on the sawmill area. The Customer had a different automatic cleaning system installed, which they were not satisfied with.
Moelven Bioenergi, Norway
At Moelven Langmoen, a smoke tube boiler is fuelled using byproducts from production to generate extra electricity. The preexisting air soot-blowing system could not preventatively clean the tube bundles, which caused unstable flue gas temperature and required regular maintenance and additional stops for manual cleaning.
Kraftvärmeverket Eskilstuna, Eskilstuna Sweden
Before the installation, the primary superheater had large deposits that built up between the tubes. In the duct after the economizer, there was a 200 mm thick layer of dust.
