Clyde Bergemann SmartControls™ consists of an industry standard PLC based, open architecture controls system infrastructure - SmartControls™, which is the centralized brainpower behind our SmartClean™ platform. The SmartControls™ system offers greater operator control over boiler cleaning, provides immediate visual indication of sootblower status, and reduces maintenance costs by quickly identifying sootblower trouble status. SmartControls™ provides modular architecture to include complete boiler cleaning solution. Please select the following product line for more detailed information.
The SmartClean™ platform has been developed in response to the demand for improving the boiler cleaning process. While conventional sootblower control systems are designed to merely operate sootblowers on a fixed cycle time basis, providing indiscriminate cleaning as part of a sootblowing sequence when operated, a SmartClean™ system with intelligence is designed to respond to the heat transfer area and local cleaning requirements. Benefits of SmartControls include:
- Allow ture intelligent boiler cleaning by recognizing where and when to clean
- Precisely control the movement of the cleaning devices so that the targeted area is cleaned with the proper intensity
- Minimize tube erosion and sootblower maintenance cost
- Improve boiler efficiency and heat rate
- Eliminate clinker formation on the superheat pendants
- Reduce outage caused by tube leakeage and manual cleaning
- Significant amount of steam/air saving
