Valmet Recovery Boiler Combustion Diagnostics application
Recovery Boiler Combustion Diagnostics with CFD Simulation
Valmet developed its Recovery Boiler Combustion Diagnostics application to provide deeper insight into furnace combustion processes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The solution simulates and visualises combustion behaviour inside recovery boilers, enabling engineers and operators to assess conditions that are difficult or impossible to measure directly in real-world operations.
The application calculates and displays critical process parameters including temperature distributions, flow patterns and black liquor droplet trajectories. By providing a clearer understanding of combustion performance, carryover behaviour and wall impacts, the diagnostics tool helps operators optimise boiler performance, improve availability and reduce emissions.
