The Multi-Fuel Boiler Process Plus Control System incorporates functionality which has traditionally been under manual control. Moving to a control strategy with separate masters for each type of fuel burned, the system is designed to improve Power Boiler efficiency, maximize waste fuel burning, and allow waste fuel to be used as the swing fuel.

The control strategy incorporates the basic philosophies of separating waste fuel controls, including the master, from auxiliary fuel and providing a user interface which allows the process to be run on automatic over 95% of the time. Features of the system include:

•Header master control
•Waste fuel master control
•Consumed air calculation (Btu)
•Waste fuel flow control
•Waste fuel quality index
•Undergrate air flow control
•Waste fuel overfire air control
•Auxiliary boiler master control
•Fuel flow control
•Auxiliary air control
•Furnace draft control
•Forced draft fan discharge pressure control
•Oxygen/Opacity trim control
•Auto balancing control
•Steam temperature control
•Enhanced user interface displays
•Production ramping and auto boiler heat-up
•Efficiency calculations
•Tube leak detection (optional)
