Soot Gone™ installed on the Spray Dryer Soot Gone™ installed on the
WTE Veridis Israel Oil Refinery Heater
 Prob lems
The fouling accumulations on the heat transfer surfaces of
the boiler leads to reduction of the boiler’s steam capacity,
efficiency and its reliability.
Why? Because of:
 clogging of the flue gases passes between pipes and therefore
increased aerodynamic pressure drops Before Soot Gone™ installation

 increasing of pollution emissions

 flue gases temperature rising yields the damaging the filter systems
that designed for particulate removal
 fasters corrosion process of the pipes in the boiler
 bridging in hoppers occurs
 finally causes non-planned shut downs especially for cleaning resulting
in increased costs and reduction in reliability of the equipment

 Places of insta lla tion in the boilers
Soot Gone™ is effective cleaning device and is
designated for half radiation and convection
zone cleaning:
 Superheaters
 Evaporators
 Economizers
 Air Preheaters (including Ljungstrom or
Rothemuhle rotation type)
 Hoppers
