Method and apparatus for monitoring formation of deposits of solid particles from flue gas onto furnace walls formed of welded-together tubes through which cooling medium flows. For the entire surface of the walls, the exact surface temperature is detected with infrared cameras, offset by 90° relative to one another, via a thermal image obtained of a surface development of the furnace. This exact surface temperature is compared with the temperature of the cooling medium from measurement locations. Individual images from the cameras are composed to form an overall development of the inner surface of the furnace walls. The coordinates of the deposits on the walls are determined from the overall development, and the thickness of the deposits is determined from the temperature comparison.

A humidifier configured to determine when the humidifier requires cleaning. The humidifier includes a tank for containing water, a heater for heating the water in the tank to generate steam, and one or more water level sensors for detecting the level of water in the tank, including detecting water at first level and a second level, where the first level is lower than the second level. The humidifier further includes a drain valve for draining water from the tank and a controller. The controller is configured to open the drain valve to drain water from the tank, measure a time interval required for the water to drain from the second level to the first level, and compare the time interval against a threshold value. If the time interval exceeds the threshold value, then the controller is configured to provide an indication to clean the humidifier. Methods are also disclosed.

Systems and methods generate steam from produced water by passing the produced water through first and second steam generators coupled together. The first steam generator produces wet steam in which a liquid effluent with impurities of the produced water passes to the second steam generator. The second steam generator combusts fuel and oxidant in direct contact with the liquid effluent. The first and second steam generators limit fouling and waste while providing a combined steam output that may include combustion products from only the second steam generator.

The invention discloses an energy-saving type quick start method for a supercritical unit or an ultra-supercritical unit. According to the method, steam from another resource is used for heating supplied water so that a boiler can be indirectly heated, and the thermal stress of a heated surface is reduced when the boiler is started so that the heating rate of the boiler can be improved; meanwhile, the heated high-temperature supplied water is converted into steam-liquid two-phase flow through throttling and pressure reduction, the flowing scouring action of the steam-liquid two-phase flow is far superior to the effect of thermal-state washing, and in other words, the boiler can complete thermal-state washing under the non-ignition condition, and can preheat the whole heated surface before ignition till certain pressure is reached. After ignition of the boiler, due to the fact that enthalpy of subcooling on an inlet of a water wall is eliminated, the problem of water power can be readily solved and the input speed of fuel can be increased. Meanwhile, by adjusting the open degree of a turbine bypass valve, the flow, the temperature rising speed and the pressure rising speed of main stream and reheat steam are controlled, and the temperature rising speed of the heated surface of the boiler is increased; when the temperature of the main steam and the temperature of the reheat steam are larger than the temperature of a turbine heating valve, valve heating is started, and a main machine can early satisfy the impulse starting condition.

The invention provides an intelligent blowdown boiler which comprises an automatic control blowdown system. The automatic control blowdown system is automatically controlled according to the amount of steam generated by the boiler and the amount of water input into the boiler. The water supply amount and the generated steam amount of each boiler are monitored in real time, so that the dynamic relation of the water supply amount and the generated steam amount is obtained, whether the blowdown system of the boiler works normally or not is judged, and waste of a large amount of heat energy waste caused by faults of the blowdown system of the boiler is avoided.

A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of a pressurised steam boiler heated by a burner. The method includes the steps of monitoring the level of total dissolved solids in water contained in the boiler, monitoring the level of water in the boiler, monitoring the pressure of steam in the boiler, monitoring the firing rate of the burner; controlling the blow down of the boiler having regard to the level of total dissolved solids in water contained in the boiler, and controlling the flow rate of water into the boiler and the firing rate of the burner. All input signals relating to the monitoring steps are passed to a common control unit and all output signals relating to the controlling steps are transmitted from the common control unit.

In a steam plant, scale adhesion to the inside of a specific device is prevented, while reducing the amount of an agent such as hydrazine to the lowest possible level.
