Long-term predictive maintenance: A study of optimal cleaning of biomass boilers

Combustion in a biomass-fired boiler causes build-up of soot, which reduces the heat transfer and decreases the efficiency of operation. In order to mitigate this natural occurrence, cleaning via soot blowing is an important maintenance action. The objective of this study is to develop long-term opt...
