Effective on-load cleaning is vital
for efficient plant operation
 
 


Clyde Bergemann boiler cleaning equipment

  The residues from the combustion of solid and liquid fuels can cause significant problems for the operators of boiler plants, incinerators, petrochemical plants and other heat exchange installations. Deposits which build up on the heat exchange surfaces reduce thermal efficiency and can cause operational difficulties. Unless an effective on-load cleaning system is installed, the plant has to be taken out of service frequently for expensive and time-consuming manual cleaning, adding cleaning costs and lost production costs to the costs of reduced energy efficiency while operating.
Clyde Bergemann is a worldwide specialist in the on-load cleaning of heat exchange surfaces. More than seventy years' experience in the broadest variety of technical conditions gives the company the knowledge to design and manufacture the most effective and reliable solution for every on-load boiler cleaning application.
 
Installing Clyde Bergemann equipment means:
Extended run time between outages
Reduced downtime 
Increased thermal efficiency 
Balanced heat transfer in accordance with plant design
Clyde Bergemann has an on-load cleaning solution for plants firing all kinds of solid and liquid fuels, including fuels such as lignite, industrial waste, domestic refuse and biomass fuels which can create particular fouling problems.
 

Tough service conditions require tough equipment		   The sootblower cleans by directing a high-velocity jet of a cleaning medium at the fouled surface. The kinetic energy in the jet is derived from the pressure of the blowing medium supply. Specially designed venturi nozzles optimise the power of the cleaning jet. The cleaning medium is normally steam, although air and water are also used.
Sootblowers are available to suit a wide variety of boiler conditions and fuel types. The cleaning jet concept employed by sootblowers is very robust to changes in fuel composition, boiler operating methods and other criteria which can alter the volume and nature of boiler deposits.
Clyde Bergemann sootblowers are designed to operate reliably in the unfriendly boiler environment: high-low temperature cycling, internal pressure cycling, intermittent operation, corrosive boiler gases and dirty operating conditions are all anticipated and included in the engineering of the products.
Clyde Bergemann can offer other techniques for on-load boiler cleaning where boiler design and fuel type make them appropriate. These include shot cleaning equipment, rapping gears and vibration systems. Extensive experience has proved these techniques in particular applications.
Retractable temperature probes are supplied for major boiler installations, based on sootblower technology.
