Process upgrades for energy producers

Small investments to remove bottlenecks 

With small or mid-size investments production bottlenecks can be opened or extend the original process design limitations. Typical process upgrade building blocks are design engineering, new components, rebuild and upgrades and process controls and efficient commissioning and start-up service.  

Fuel and combustion management for energy 

Use low-priced fuels without increasing the risk of superheater corrosion with Valmet Superheater KCl Corrosion Management and reduce your yearly fuel costs. Alkali chloride induced corrosion is one of the major risks and reason for superheater maintenance needs in biomass and recovered fuel firing boilers in power generation industry. The corrosion rate can be very high and may cause non-predictable failures and immediate need for shutdown. 

The solution provides tools to control the risk of alkalichloride induced superheater corrosion, save in fuel costs, increase transparency in power plant’s daily fuel and combustion management and gives real time estimate of the remaining lifetime of the superheaters.
