The uppermost goal is to preserve boiler efficiency and availability. The most suitable cleaning strategy will be selected and triggered by the CLEANING MANAGER.
CLEANING MANAGER:
Cleaning recommendations from the test station
The CLEANING MANAGER is the control centre of CEOS. In this function, the CLEANING MANAGER is responsible for maintaining boiler efficiency and availability.
All cleaning actions which were recommended by the SMART Furnace-FACOS and SMART Convection analysis centres will be checked for plausibility and evaluated with regard to their effect. For the final decision, the CLEANING MANAGER considers current process data which are provided by the PHR module. The CLEANING MANAGER also accesses stored operational events, such as a planned revision, so that the selected cleaning strategy complies also with the system requirements in the near future. |

The more comprehensive the stored events, the better the CLEANING MANAGER can work as an automatic system.
The decision concerning the optimum cleaning strategy, i.e. which cleaning device is activated when and with which cleaning parameters, is made by the CLEANING MANAGER in real time. In doing so, process and procedural requirements are taken into account. The CLEANING MANAGER initiates the activation of the necessary cleaning devices via the control system. The CLEANING MANAGER administers and visualises all of the determined data and as such provides as well the user interface as a PC-supported system in client-server architecture.
PHR – Plant Heat Rate:
Adviser for plant related issues
The PHR module combines the knowledge about all boiler related components, i.e. pumps, blowers, turbines etc. This covers aspects such as boiler operation, mill combinations and similar ones. This includes the component characteristic, such as the performance curve of the ID fan. By means of “What-If-Calculations”, the effects of changed parameters can be tested in advance. The information exchange with the CLEANING MANAGER ensures that the defined cleaning strategy maintains boiler efficiency and availability. |
