Fouling is a phenomenon where material accumulates on the exterior of convective heat
exchangers (HX) and other surfaces. In boilers fired by waste-derived or biomass fuels …

This paper presented a comprehensive approach of on-line monitoring and optimization for
the soot-blowing system in coal-fired power plant boilers. Due to ash fouling monitoring of …

The paper investigates a comprehensive approach for ash fouling monitoring and an
optimized soot-blow mechanism for a thermal power plant reheater. A dynamic nonlinear …

A model based on-line foul monitoring approach for a power plant reheater is proposed.
Dual Extended Kalman Filter (DEKF) is designed to estimate the model parameters that …

In modern utility boilers, characterized by high values of steam pressure and temperature,
the individual superheater stages and also the individual passes are made of different low …

Because of the present ineffective method of soot blowing on a boiler's heating surface in a
coal-fired power plant, and to improve the economic benefit of the boiler in the power plant …

Ash fouling has been an important factor in reducing the heat transfer efficiency and safety of
the coal-fired power plant boilers. Scientific and accurate prediction of ash fouling of heat …

In a conventional coal-fired boiler combustion of coal causes buildup of soot, ash, and slag
in the heat transfer surfaces, which reduces the heat transfer as well as operating efficiency …

This paper presents a comprehensive approach for optimization of soot-blowing of air
preheaters in a coal-fired power plant boiler. In the method, modeling of the cleanliness …

Co-firing biomass or waste fuels with coal in conventional thermal plants is a promising way
to reduce environmental impact of human activities with an acceptable economic …
