The word “SOOT” refer to black, carbonaceous fine particles that are formed during the combustion of coal, wood, oil etc. Soot form deposits on the walls of combustors, chimneys and pipes that convey the flue gas. Soot blowing technology started with manual cleaning with hand lancing and hand blowing, evolved slowly into online soot-blowing using retractable soot blowers. The accumulation of fireside deposits on heat transfer tubes surface is a persistent problem in boilers. The severity of the problem depends mainly on the amount and the melting behavior of fly ash particles entrained in the flue gas, and the efficacy of the deposit cleaning system that the individual boiler employs. If left unattended, deposits may form a thick insulation coating on the tube surface, significantly reducing the boiler thermal performance and steam production capacity. In severe cases, the deposits may completely plug the flue gas passes, leading to costly unscheduled boiler shutdowns for cleaning.
