Fireside treatment for coal and biomass boilers

INDION 6436 for coal and biomass fireside treatment.

Overview

INDION 6436 is a multifunctional fuel additive for coal and biomass applications. The supplied product presentations describe a combination of combustion-catalyst, slag-modifying, diffusing or dispersing, detergent and corrosion-inhibitor functions. The programme is intended to reduce clinker and slag formation and make existing deposits more porous for removal.

The treatment is selected for the fuel and boiler conditions. Fuel analysis, plant layout and operating data are used to confirm the application method and product feed point.

Applications

  • Coal-fired boilers

    Fuel-side treatment for coal applications.

  • Biomass-fired boilers

    Fuel-side treatment for applicable biomass fuels.

  • Furnace and heat-transfer areas

    Deposit-management programme for clinker and slag in the furnace and boiler areas.

Process use and chemical role

Where fireside treatment is used

Process stage or systemChemical or operational role
Fuel-side programmeINDION 6436 is applied as part of a coal or biomass fuel-treatment programme. The exact addition point and dosing method must be confirmed for the site.
Combustion zone and heat-transfer surfacesThe product presentation describes action on clinker and slag in the furnace and boiler heat-transfer areas. Treatment objectives include deposit control and making existing clinker more porous.
Fuel-specific assessmentFuel quality and boiler operating conditions affect deposit formation. Product use and dose are therefore set after technical review and site validation.

FAQs

What is INDION 6436?

It is a fuel-side additive for coal and biomass applications, described in the supplied presentation as a multifunctional clinker and slag control product.

Does the page specify a standard dose or injection point?

No. The supplied source does not give a universal dose or feed arrangement. These details should be confirmed for the fuel-handling and boiler system.

What should be reviewed before a trial?

Fuel analysis, boiler configuration, current deposit pattern, operating conditions and the proposed dosing arrangement.
