SootGone VS shock wave soot blower

What is SootGone?

SootGone is an innovative technology based on detonation of fuel gas to create powerful air blast to keep boiler clean. This detonation cleaning can remove boiler ash, soot, slag in boilers, heaters, incinerators. SootGone combines cleaning performance of both shock wave and sound wave to keep boiler running at high efficiency. With it, your plant can operate with lower fuel cost, lower exhaust temperature, less unplanned shutdown, more power generation, etc.

Soot Gone boiler soot cleaning



Which area can SootGone clean?

It can clean boiler superheater, evaporator, economizer, air preheater and furnace wall, but not suitable with ESP or SCR catalyst. For high temperature zone, you can see its obvious effect because heat transfer happens by radiation in this area. For areas like economizer and air preheater, SootGone can greatly reduce flue gas pressure drop because normally there is heavy fouling in such areas.

Does SootGone and shock wave soot blower refer the same thing?

Yes, we can say they are actually the same product.

Same principle: detonation cleaning based on fuel gas.
Same application: boiler, heater, incinerator in power plant, cement plant, refinery, metallurgy, pulp & paper plant, glass work, etc.
Same purpose: to keep boiler clean and run at full efficiency.

Although two systems are produced by different companies, the design can’t be completely the same, they can replace each other to play its function.
