Comprehensive Boiler Optimization
The boiler is the heart of steam turbine-driven electricity production and home to complex process interactions. NeuCo’s total Boiler Optimization solution maximizes boiler performance and manages tradeoffs so that sub-processes are in sync instead of working at cross purposes. That’s why CombustionOpt® and SootOpt® are integrated to form a complete Boiler Optimization package that helps identify and manage interactions between boiler processes and align combustion control and sootblowing operations with a plant’s overall objectives.
Boiler Optimization Benefits
- Reduce NOx by 10 to 25%
- Improve heat rate by 0.3 to 1.5%
- Improve reliability by reducing risk of fouling, slagging, tube erosion and plugging
- Control CO, CO2 and GHG emissions
- Avoid opacity excursions
- Reduce ammonia consumption by 10 to 20% when an SCR system is in place
- Manage interactions between boiler processes
- Make tradeoff decisions that are truly optimal
- Roll-up multiple information sources to paint a broad picture of boiler operations
- Change optimizer instructions with a few mouse clicks as objectives or constraints change
