“Without our camera, we’d be firing wood in the dark!”
-Frank Ortiz, Hog Fuel Boiler Operator, Simpson Tacoma Kraft Co., Washington
Hog fuel firing in a boiler can be tricky unless you carefully watch the grate for combustion changes. IST’s Quadtek LynxTM color cameras continuously monitor fuel bed conditions so you can:
- Stabilize and balance fuel distribution even when fuel quality changes,
- Minimize auxiliary fuel usage even during steam load changes, and
- Maximize hog/bark firing under all conditions.
AND, reduce exposing your operators to the danger of blowback. As Frank says, “With the camera, we can monitor the bed continuously without anyone getting burned.”
