Comprehensive Boiler Optimization
The boiler is the heart of steam turbine-driven electricity production and home to complex process interactions. BoilerOpt™ is NeuCo's total boiler optimization software solution that combines the functions of both CombustionOpt® and SootOpt® to optimizer power plant performance in closed loop to achieve overall unit availability, efficiency and emissions goals. The integrated optimizers manage tradeoffs between the combustion and heat transfer processes and align combustion control and sootblowing operations with a plant’s overall objectives. This optimization package maximizes boiler performance and ensures that sub-processes are in sync instead of working at cross purposes.
Key Boiler Optimization Benefits
- Reduce NOx emissions
- Improve boiler efficiency, steam temperatures and heat rate
- Improved reliability by reducing risk of fouling, slagging, tube erosion and plugging
- Better controlled CO, CO2 and GHG emissions
- Reduce ammonia consumption when an SCR system is in place
- Minimized attemperation sprays and exit gas temperatures
- Opacity and CO excursion avoidance and reduced LOI
- Improved operational consistency
