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.

Lugnviksverket, Östersund Sweden
The infrasound system was installed in order to increase the efficiency of the boiler, by saving soot blowing steam, and to reduce wear on the tube bundles and the catalyst elements. The staff had concluded the damage of the catalyst elements was related to operation of the steam soot blowers.
