The Problem:
- Recovery boiler tubes are subject to harsh conditions: furnace temperatures up to 2,500°F from combustion on one side, insulation on the other side, and pressurized free flowing water inside the tubes
- These circumstances make boiler tubes susceptible to significant erosion and corrosion that threatens safety and presents environmental hazards
- Smelt water explosions caused by erosion can be deadly or lead to the release of toxic gases into the environment
- Shutting down the plant for regular tube inspection, is costly and substantially reduces overall mill productivity
- Many boiler leaks go undetected for long periods of time. Small leaks will grow in size and/or cause larger, more destructive leaks on adjacent boiler tubes
Corrosion and erosion caused by harsh recovery boiler conditions
The Need:
- Safety Issues: Early detection of high pressure leaks so that smelt-water explosions can be avoided
- Cost Issues: Advanced notice of leak problems to minimize costs due to damage
The Solution:
- ALL™ is a leak detection and warning system designed for on-line monitoring of pressurized systems and valves
- ALL™ can detect leaks as small as 5 mils–long before the human ear can hear them
- ALL™ tells you that problems are developing before the situation becomes serious
The Benefits of ALL™:
- Significant Cost Savings
- Vital Early Warnings
- Accurate Leak Location
- Multiple Leak Detection Capability
- Monitor Leaks Throughout: Boiler Steam Piping Feedwater Heaters Headers Valves Other Pressure Vessels
- Flexible Output Options
- Sophisticated and Accurate
- Easy to Use
