Inspect the furnace of a utility boiler while the unit runs — check burner balance, flame, water-wall tubes and slagging without a forced outage.
Place 1.mp4 in the site root to play the inspection video here.
A utility boiler runs continuously between major outages, and any furnace problem — poor combustion, heavy slagging or tube damage — directly affects load, heat rate and availability.
Our high temperature endoscope inspects the furnace through existing observation ports while the unit fires, so combustion and the surrounding heating surfaces are checked live, without dropping load for cooling.
Large boiler furnaces are affected by:
A forced outage on a power unit is extremely costly. Live furnace inspection links slagging or a flame problem to its location, so combustion is corrected and outages are planned, not forced.
Flame shape, ignition and balance across all burners.
High-temperature corrosion, overheating, bulging and slag coverage.
Molten and sintered deposits on furnace walls.
Fouling and condition of pendant heating surfaces.
Burner hardware condition and flame impingement.
Ash build-up and lower furnace wall condition.
Burner zone, water walls and superheater monitoring.
Combustion chamber, cyclone and refractory areas.
Flame quality and furnace wall condition.
Combustion, slagging and fouling monitoring.
Furnace and high-temperature heating surfaces.
Combustion chamber and refractory condition.
Use an existing furnace observation port and prepare the insertion point.
Guide the cooled probe into the furnace.
View flame, water walls and slagging in real time.
Record images and video across burner elevations.
Provide references for combustion tuning and outage planning.
Tell us your boiler type, capacity and observation ports — we'll recommend the right probe configuration.
