GE’s Powerwave+ cleaning system enhances boiler operation and minimizes high maintenance expenses associated with other cleaning methods. This revolutionary technology provides significant advantages over traditional methods like sootblowing, rapping, manual shaking, blasting, and high-pressure water washing. Because the Powerwave+ effectively cleans using controlled and repeated impulses, cleaning can be performed online. Another advantage over traditional methods is that you’ll benefit from less tube wear and avoid unnecessarily wasted steam and water. Features & Benefits Removes thick and stubborn ash deposits better than traditional cleaning methods Reduces the need for steam soot blowing Enhances long-term operational ability Cleaning process doesn't require personnel to enter area where buildup occurs Fuel-efficient design has low operating cost with minimal maintenance Can be integrated into plant control systems, or operated in self-timed mode Increases heat transfer and overall efficiency of processes Operates online versus requiring an outage Extends time intervals between downturns caused by off-line cleaning, allowing more time for production Potentially less damage to boiler tubes Easy to install and maintain, with a small footprint that preserves valuable space Utilizes only small amounts of compressed air, fuel, and 110 VAC
