Alternative for revamping & new build

P-WAVE generators allow to avoid manual explosion cleaning — especially in waste-to-energy plants (WtE). They are also an effective alternative to conventional boiler cleaning equipment, further reducing downtime and maintenance cost. Because pressure waves involve no physical contact, they are the least impacting for tube materials, typically reducing boiler corrosion.

Avoid manual explosion cleaning

Increase boiler service time and inherent safety.

Alternative to soot-blowers

Increase net steam generation and efficiency of boiler cleaning.

Alternative to rapping or shot

Mechanical impact of hammers/rapping or steel-balls/shot cleaning avoided.

Alternative to shower cleaning - avoid open pass fouling

Stabilize flue gas temperature at superheater / convective pass inlet.

Easily implemented

Designed for easy integration, the generators can be installed at side-wall openings of existing boiler access doors or manholes. This makes revamping straightforward in most boiler configurations, including open radiation as well as convection passes. Universally useable in all parts of vertical and horizontal boilers. For boiler widths up to 12 m, installation on one side only is sufficient.

  • P-WAVE generator — compact, space requirement only 1,2 m from boiler wall, 275 kg
  • Control cabinet and valve board
  • Propane bottle
  • Compressor, air tanks and central pressure reduction boards

Space requirement

P-WAVE generators are particularly well suited for new boilers. The space required is only 1,2 m from the boiler membrane wall — and for boilers up to 12 m, only on one side. Customers appreciate the universality of the system: performant in open passes, superheater bundles and economizers of vertical and horizontal boilers. The following picture shows the difference of space requirement compared to soot blowers. Typically one P-WAVE generator can replace 2 to 4 soot blowers.
