SONIC SOOT BLOWER Sonic soot blowing  is cleaning of fouled surfaces by compressed air. Sound waves sent inside  boiler  propagate in all directions and impart energy to ash particulates which fluidize and jump up from fouled surfaces to be carried away by the  flue gas stream . BENEFITS: 1. High Efficiency -Clean tubes absorb more heat 2. Reduced Overheating  3. Eco-Friendly -Reduced Air Pollution 4. Cost Effective – Extremely low maintenance & operational costs 5. Elimination of tube erosion & corrosion problems 6. Non-destructive  – No structural damage to tube bundles or boiler structure 7. 360° cleaning of all tube surfaces

Boiler Safety Boiler, being a fired pressure vessel, may be a potential hazard. Boiler operators and engineers should pay close attention to following safety devices for safe use: Safety Valve: Prevents the boiler being operated above its maximum permissible working pressure Water gauge glass: It is designed to verify the actual level of water in the system Air vent Valve:   It is designed to take out initial air Blowdown Valve: It is designed to remove accumulated sludge out of the boiler Isolation Valve: It is designed to isolate safety devices i.e. mobrey , gauge glass etc.  usually for maintenance or safety purpose Feed Water check valve: It is designed to allow feed water to pass into the boiler and to prevent backflow of water from the boiler in event of pump failure Steam Pressure gauge: It is designed to record the pressure at which steam is being generated in the boiler Water Treatment:   It is done to reduce various losses and enhance the...
