RECOVERY CHEM® programs are specifically designed to significantly reduce fireside deposition, erosion, and corrosion in black liquor recovery boilers. Fuel Tech’s comprehensive treatment programs optimize mechanical removal processes by precisely targeting the reagent at problem areas within the radiant and convection sections, ensuring optimal reaction times. This approach not only promotes efficient boiler operation but also helps prevent deposit formation. In contrast, conventional fuel treatment programs often inject reagents into the liquor or blow them into the furnace near tertiary air ports, resulting in minimal treatment of key problem areas. These traditional methods are often uneconomical and deliver subpar performance.

RECOVERY CHEM®
Benefits and features of TIFI programs to fireside treatments
- Reduces fireside deposition, erosion and corrosion problem areas
- Reduces slagging and fouling
- Reduces shutdowns
- Offers significant return on investment
Program engineered using CFD modeling
Fuel Tech leverages computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and advanced data visualization techniques to develop tailored, boiler-specific treatment programs. After gaining a thorough understanding our customer’s needs, our specialist team conducts in-depth analysis of the boiler design, reviewing operating data and deposit samples. These insights are used to create models that support the design of new equipment, including layout, predicted program performance and costs, along with an estimate of return on investment (ROI). Modeling is particularly important to pinpoint the optimal location for injector placements and most efficient configuration.
Fuel Tech’s CFD modeling in action
- CFD model dataset exported to virtual reality engine
- Temperature profiles and gas flows are determined and injector placements selected
- Manipulation of injector location, spray characteristics and droplet size and velocity
- Data is used to design injection strategy for maximum coverage
