Advanced Boiler Control Advanced Boiler Control Harmac No.9 Power Boiler
Hog steam was increased by 60 kpph (180 -> 240 kpph, with a 450 kpph MCR, with hog fuel moisture of 57 %, resulting in a reduction of 15 barrels of oil per hour – from 35 barrels per hour)
Port Townsend Paper No.10 Power Boiler
During a manual trial, the ABC technology increased the hog steam by 70 kpph (140 -> 210 kpph, with a 250 kpph MCR, with hog fuel moisture of 56 %, resulting in the removal of all 17.5 barrels of oil per hour).
During another trial, the particulate matter emissions were reduced by 40% (from the permitted value) during the same hog fuel firing rate.
Port Angeles No.8 Power Boiler
During a manual trial, the ABC technology increased the hog steam by 30 kpph (70 -> 100 kpph, with a 120 kpph MCR, with hog fuel moisture of 60 %, resulting in the removal of all 8 barrels of oil per hour was removed).

ABC Control System Response to a Load Change
Load Change: 3 minutes ramp down from 100% to 50%, remain at 50% for 5 minutes, ramp up to 100% in 3 minutes.
Steam Drum Level Control: Setpoint is load dependent (high/low level – high/low load).
Header Pressure Control: Setpoint is load dependent (low/high pressure – high/low load).

Combustion Rate Model – Load Variation - Power Boiler Scenario - No Fuel Variation
CRM Inputs (18) and CRM Outputs (bottom right : Auxiliary Fuel Combustion, Primary Fuel Combustion).
All ABC Loops are active. Steam Drum Level Control and Header Pressure Control are load dependent .
CRM - Primary Fuel Combustion (bottom right) confirms that there is no Fuel Variation.
