High-Performance Biomass Boiler Soot Blowers

Retracting and Rotating Sootblowing Device for Soot Prevention and Boiler Maintenance

Effectively control slagging and fouling while achieving boiler efficiency and increase power plant profitability with LPR Global’s High-Performance Soot Blowers. The boiler soot blowing equipment uses high-efficiency venturi nozzles and superheated steam as a cleaning medium to maximize blowing coverage and remove porous soot deposits or buildup. A spray pressure control unit included in the poppet valve guarantees constant pressure and provides convenient adjustment of nozzle pressure. Apart from its excellent cleaning performance, our clients appreciate the low-noise operation and easy maintenance of this soot-blowing equipment.

Soot blower manufacturers must be equipped with experience with a wide range of boiler capacities, fuel types and the types of the power plant, given that soot creation and its carbon particles are a product of incomplete combustion.  We bring the client the best practice from decades of experience with a wide range of boilers and their power plants.  Our soot blowers are currently being used at nuclear, thermal and cogen plants, which use various types of boiler fuels from small to large power generation plants.  The table below exemplifies our recent projects at different power plants.

Long Retractable/Insertable Kinetic Sootblowers (LRSB/IK) for Boiler Superheater | High-Performance Soot Blower LR Series

Optimize the superheater of your boiler with the LR series of long, retractable soot blowers. They are robustly built to eliminate fouling in high-temperature zones (exceeding 500°C). A powerful single motor controls the lance tube in its forward and backward movement and guarantees high cleaning performance in boilers and heat exchanger parts.

Short Retractable Sootblower for Boiler Economizer | High-Performance Soot Blower SR Type

Short-travel soot blowers with powerful blowing performance, proven to eliminate soot from the boiler economizer. They are widely used for more powerful soot blowing than rotary soot blowers. The equidistant nozzle arrangement ensures efficient cleaning in low gas temperature areas (below 500°C), such as the gas path.

Long & Part Retractable Sootblowers for GGH and GAH Systems | High-Performance Soot Blower PLR Series

Part retractable soot blowers with a multi-nozzle for high cleaning efficiency, frequently utilized in GGH & GAH units.

We have installed this rotary sootblower model in Gas to Gas Heat Exchanger (GGH) system with 80-120°C, equipped with a multi-nozzle block for effective soot blowing. A water washing option is available using the attached high-pressure water lance and nozzle block on the On-Stream-Washing (OSW).

Multi-nozzle, part retractable soot blower with dual-media air heater cleaning configurations, for strong soot blowing of air preheaters (APH).

Wall Blower/Insertable Rotating (IR) for Boiler Furnace Wall | High-Performance Soot Blower WB Type

Superior performance in removing heavy ash deposits in boiler furnace walls, especially in pulverized coal combustion boilers. Nozzle head and nozzles are constructed with a heat-resistant alloy to withstand high-temperature exposure over 1,000°C. To prevent damage from the high temperatures of the combustor, the lance tube is positioned backwards and attached to the outer furnace wall.

Upon starting, the lance tube moves to a forward position and then rotates, with a single motor powering its forward and backward movement. When the blowing starts, a cam operates the poppet valve.

Fixed Rotary Sootblower for Boiler Economizer & Flue Gas Paths | High-Performance Soot Blower RB Type

Multi-nozzle soot blowing equipment for powerful cleaning of boiler economizers and gas paths (under 500°C). A sturdy element tube is fixed on the flue gas paths of low gas temperature zones in boilers and other boiler parts, such as the evaporator tube, economizer, tubular air, preheater, and fired heater.

Rake-Type Sootblowers for SCR System | High-Performance Soot Blower Rake Series

The rake-type soot blowers are robust and designed to efficiently clean large boiler areas evenly with their sturdy box frame, dual rack, and pinion drive. These high-performance rake soot blowers effectively clean soot in the SCR system, withstanding temperatures up to 400°C. They are equipped with multiple nozzles and rake arms attached to the retractable lance tube, which ensure structural rigidity and stiffness, silent operation, and minimal vibration.
