Fireside Additives
The primary aim of combustion is to obtain the maximum amount of steam from each unit of fuel. But impurities in fuels and operational problems are limitations to achieving maximum output from burned fuel. The impurities in coal can lead to the formation of slag in boiler furnaces, can leave the clinkers on the fuel bed and the presence of Sulphur can lead to the cold-end corrosion. It is possible to improve the combustion of fuel and reduce un-burnt carbon in the ash. A fireside additive plays an important role in the complete combustion of fuel along with a control on corrosion deposits, slagging clinker formation, reduction in airborne pollution emission as well as inhibition of fouling. Our Multipurpose Solid Fuel Additive is a free-flowing powder, designed primarily for treating coal, wood, and other solid fuels. It acts as a combustion catalyst and thereby loss due to unburnt fuel gets minimized, resulting in improved combustion efficiency. It has an anti–fouling agent that helps to keep heat transfer surfaces clean and thus improves the steam generation for the same heat transfer area. Hard clinker is softened and the tendency of hard clinker formation is reduced, thereby helping in reducing boiler maintenance, while providing easy cleaning and also increasing the boiler availability for long-term operation. This results in smoke-free combustion at lower excess air levels and improved fuel economy.
