SONIC SOOT BLOWERS are designed to produce low frequency, high sound pressure fluctuation. 

Operated by compressed air, Sonic Soot blowers create a series of very rapid and powerful sound, which are transmitted into the solid particles of ash, dust, powders. So, these particles start to resonate and debond from adjoining particles and the surface they are adhering to. Once debonded, the material will fall off due to gravity, or is carried away by the process gas, or air stream. 

Sonic Soot Blowers are a proven alternative to conventional steam soot blowers. 

A few seconds of “sounding” at periodic intervals is all that is required 

• To maximize material flow in silos, hoppers, and ductwork

• To improve thermal conductivity in boilers, economizers, air heaters, and more 

• To eliminate unscheduled plant shutdowns in fans and filters

• To reduce opacity spikes from ESPs and filters

• To prevent material build up within silos, fans, filters, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems

Depending on the application and boiler plant design, Sonic Soot Blowers usually totally replace existing high maintenance steam soot blowers whether retractable or rotary. In a few cases, Sonic Soot Blowers can be used to supplement steam soot blowers and reduce their usage. 

• Prevention of ash build up and sintering on tubes 

• 360 degree Cleaning Efficiency - the entire circumference of the tubes and internal structure can be easily reached, instead of just the leading edge of the tubes as with a steam soot blower 

• No Erosion, No Corrosion, No Water or Mechanical Wear - Because they do not use any high-pressure steam or water 

• Maintain Thermal Efficiency and Differential Pressure 

• Easy to Install and Retro-fit 

• Fully Automated System 

• Cheaper to purchase and install. It is considerably more economical to operate and has virtually no maintenance costs.
