When ash-producing fuels burn, combustion by-products accumulate on boiler heating surfaces – including tube banks, walls, screens, superheaters, reheaters and economisers. This buildup creates an insulating barrier that forces boilers to work harder, consuming more fuel and generating higher emissions to achieve the same output. Clean heating surfaces help boilers function more efficiently and reduce a power producing facility’s environmental footprint. “Getting the most out of critical boiler-cleaning equipment like soot blowers requires proper lubrication,” says Gavin Ford, National Marketing Manager at Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa. Soot blowers are used...
