ITM | Clinker Detection System A proprietary monitoring technology developed by Integrated Test & Measurement is introducing a brand new approach to address “fouling” in coal- ?red power plants as well as the pulp and paper industry. ITM’s solution, the Clinker Detection System – Patent Pending, has proven it can boost sootblowing e?ciency, save steam and curb maintenance headaches in plants by putting a novel data-collection technology to work. Fouling occurs inside black-liquor recovery boilers (as part of the pulping process) and in coal-?red utility boilers when incombustible byproducts adhere and insulate furnace components — the steam-generating tubes in the boiler’s superheater — thereby reducing steam production and even halting operations altogether to allow for maintenance cleani
