Reducing Slagging in Western Coal-Fired Utility Boilers

Description and Use

FuelSolv FMG2960 is a specially engineered chemi-

cal additive designed to reduce slagging in utility

boilers using western coals, and is being used in

numerous industrial facilities around the world,

including large coal fired utility boilers.

Slagging

Slagging occurs in the convection areas of the fur-

nace, and is caused by the collection of ash on the

boiler tubes and internal surfaces inside the fur-

nace, which in turn crystallizes and hardens,

thereby reducing the heat transfer efficiency. If not

corrected, it can cause damage to the internals of

the furnace when the slag breaks off and falls away

to the bottom of the furnace. In order to avoid

forced outages, plant owners employ down-powers

to remove slag during off-peak hours, thereby re-

ducing the unit’s availability for dispatch.

Application

FMG2960 is a special chemical formula that is

applied to the coal on the conveyor belt. After mix-

ing with the coal, it is injected into the furnace

along with the coal. The key to reducing slagging is

to reduce sintering – which is the coalescence of

deposited particles and bonding. As sintering pro-

gresses, it results in increasing deposition strength.

FMG2960 promotes crystallization at the ash

surface, which increases the slag porosity, and

promotes cracking at the surface of the ash,

thereby making the slag easier to remove with

soot blowers.

Implementation

GE provides all necessary plant assessment, chemi-

cals, and equipment for applications, to apply

FMG2960 to the coal on the conveyor belts. In addi-

tion, GE utilizes our Advanced Combustion Engi-

neering (ACE) methodology, which uses actual plant

data to assess the effectiveness of the application.

ACE uses GE’s InSight* monitoring and diagnostics

platform, and is available for both onsite and offsite

applications.
