SmartProcess™ Sootblower Optimization develops strategic sootblowing sequences, ensuring that a plant only blows soot when needed and only in necessary locations, thus reducing opacity and thermal NOx while improving overall heat rate and boiler efficiency.

The Sootblower Optimizer has the ability to dynamically calculate the cleanliness factors of the process at all times, even while the plant is moving through load ranges. This feature produces significant advantages over steady state packages, executable only when boiler load is stable and other parameters, such as the effect of radiation absorption at load levels, are known.
