Getting Technical On Sonic Soot Blowers

Soot blowers and sonic soot blowers give me plenty to think and write about. Sometimes I have to go and do research before I can write anything but it's always worthwhile because I learn so much!

Most engineers involved in industrial boiler cleaning and maintenance in largescale plants know the basics about soot blowers. With sonic soot blowers, however, it's a little different because this kind of cleaning technology is relatively new and not as widespread within industry. It was great, therefore, to find a really detailed sonic soot blowers technical paper. Recently published and writen by Quattrosonics MD Donald F Cameron, the paper goes into some fascinating detail.

Included in the issues covered ...


  • How sonic soot blowers work

  • Cleaning efficiency

  • Corrosion and erosion issues

Clearly Mr Cameron is an expert in sonic cleaning technology and it's great to see someone of this calibre sharing their expertise. Thank you sir!
