Coal fired boilers experience deposition and slagging depending upon the ash characteristics of ash in the coal being fired. In many cases the operating parameters also play a major role. The molten or partial melting pasty ash deposits in radiant heat transfer surface like boiler furnace is termed as slagging. The sintered ash deposit in the convection region in boiler is called fouling.

Steam-side fouling can increase the tube wall temperatures and cause overheating as discussed in Q8.13. Steam-side fouling is more critical in finned water tube boilers, as discussed in Q8.24. One has to shut down the boiler and perform an investigation if fouling is severe. Normal fouling may be acceptable between maintenance shutdowns.

Reasoning of Fly ash depositions over the convection pass tubes The coal was the same in all the three boilers. The fly ash is formed by fragmentation of ash particles and also due to condensation of vaporized alkalis in coal. In BFBC all the ash constituents

Moreover, re ectivity of the fouling surface varies in a completely different way to deposi-tion growth and sometimes in a manner opposite to the impact of the thickness of fouling.

Fouling is responsible for the emission of many millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide as well as the use and disposal of hazardous cleaning chemicals. Data from oil refineries suggest that crude oil fouling accounts for about 10% of the total CO2 emission of these plants.

The causes and effects of increased flue gas pressure differential due to fouling have been examined in

Ash fouling, which causes serious corrosion and erosion problems, builds up on the heat transfer surfaces of boilers to act as an insulator; this greatly reduces the global heat transfer
