Acoustic Cleaning (not horns)

33.5 VIT with PRB ash BEFORE This picture was taken during the outage (no cleaning was done)	33.5 VIT with PRB All the lose material is gone. It is clean 24/7, resulting in lower pressure drop, longer element life, and higher availability.
CO-boiler with Catalyst Fines Years of plugging removed.	CO-boiler with Catalyst Fines Same boiler, looking at the Superheater bank. This boiler operates for years on end, without sootblowers, in an always clean condition.
33.5 VIT with PRB AFTER After 6 months of operation this picture was taken. Note how all the lose ash is gone. As you see the elements here, this is how clean it stays during operation. Always on.	31.5 VIT with PRB type ash Intermediate layer fouling all resolved. Ask about the technical paper.
