Sonic Horns For Power Generation Industry
Striving to achieve an increase in thermal efficiency together with lowering maintenance and repair costs is surely the key goal of every facility manager.Well achieving these three goals just got a great deal easier! - thanks to Primasonics® Sonic Horn Technologies. Simply by employing the correct frequency sound wave for a few seconds at periodic intervals results in the elimination of particulate build up on Tube Bundles, Selective Catalytic Reducers (SCR), Bag House Filter Plants, Air Heaters, ID Fans and ESPs.
Unlike old fashioned steam soot blowers this new generation of 'sonic soot blowers' will not cause tube erosion or permit the ash build up to occur over a number of hours. The sound waves from these 'acoustic soot blowers' envelope each complete tube thus preventing the ash from building up and sintering due to the heat. The result is a continuous increase in thermal efficiency!
The Primasonics® Acoustic Cleaners standard range (PAS Range) is made from spun 316 grade stainless steel. They are available in a number of other specialist metals where necessary, to deal with high temperatures or corrosive gas streams. A number of our new clients who perhaps had initial doubts of the success of this excellent technology began with the introduction of our acoustic cleaners within the economizer section of the boiler.

The appropriate model and number of acoustic cleaners are installed on existing hatches in between tube bundles as shown in the two examples above and right.
By choosing this section of plant, the client can quickly establish the effectiveness of the sonic horns by monitoring the drop in temperature of the exiting gas flow. Right: economizer of a waste to energy power plant
Primasonics® Acoustic Cleaners can aid material flow and eliminate ash build up in all areas of Power Generation Plants whether fuelled by Oil, Coal, Gas or Organic Waste Material.
