 UK BREWERY

The SAPEC treatment was injected into only one furnace of a 25,000 lb/hr twin chain grate boiler. The left hand side furnace was treated with SAPEC whilst the right side furnace remained un-treated. Both grates worked at identical rates and for the same period during the demonstration. When the boiler was taken off-line the following photographs were taken at the beginning of the first section of tubes.

Boiler operation and coal quality are the main variables in determining boiler fouling. By treating only one side of the boiler we ensured that the two main variables were the same for both furnaces. Therefore the reduced deposition in the side that had been treated, was totally due to the effects of the SAPEC System
