Hello,
I have read an interesting article about soot blower system as a way to reduce NOx and flue gas temperatures.
http://www.bmsint.com/power/technical.html
More and more old power plants install soot blower systems during modernization. Most soot blower systems are PLC based. They can be installed as a standalone system. I wonder if it would be difficult to interface this system with DCS, so operator can start and stop soot blowing sequence or be notified if sequence is started without introducing new computer in the control room.
What are your experiences?
Many soot blower manufacturers claim technical possibility to interface with any kind of DCS, but I wonder if that is really true.
Do you know of any examples of communications between mayor DCS systems (Ovation, T3000 or 800xA) and PLC based standalone soot blower systems?
Thanks
