Owing to the lack of direct measurement on the slagging extent of the waterwall, random or empirical soot-blowing strategies practiced in many power plants can result in untimely or excessive soot-blowing operations. In this research, a dynamic slagg... Read More about Improvement of slagging monitoring and soot-blowing of waterwall in a 650MWe coal-fired utility boiler.
