Fluidized Bed Optimizer



PLANT PHOTO
 

The SmartProcess® Fluidized Bed Optimizer rebuilds the performance levels of CFB technology.

It considers such variables as boiler efficiency, fuel flow, heat losses, combustion air flow, and flue gas flows, and collects, analyzes, and reports accurate performance data of these applications.

It then uses the performance data to predict future performance and determine the most efficient and cost-effective balance of system conditions.

 



Increased Efficiency

The Fluidized Bed Optimizer enhances a plant’s fluidized bed boiler applications, and protects against inefficiencies that can lead to an increase in heat rate and plant emissions.

Performance Levels
By considering boiler variables like efficiency, fuel flow, and heat rate, the Fluidized Bed Optimizer improves performance levels of fluidized bed technology.

Balanced System
The Fluidized Bed Optimizer considers performance data to determine the most efficient and cost-effective balance of system conditions.
Data Accuracy
The Fluidized Bed Optimizer provides proper limestone injection rates, enhances SO2 capture ratios, and improves combustion zone temperatures.

Controlled Performance
The Fluidized Bed Optimizer uses the data it collects from a plant model to better control heat output, fuel input, and operational efficiencies.

 

 

 

 
 

According to EPRI, the industry average
savings for a 500-MW plant with 0.5% heat rate improvement equals $200,00 annually.
