Estimating the First Melting Temperature of Fireside Deposits in Recovery Boilers, Technical Information Paper TIP 0416-12 (2004)

The first melting temperature (FMT) of fireside deposits is important in recovery boiler operation. Corrosion of superheater tubes occurs rapidly if tube surface temperatures exceed the FMT of the deposits on the tubes. In addition, for recovery boilers burning liquor with high chloride (>2.5 wt% Cl on dry black liquor solids), deposits contain a large amount of liquid phase when they melt. In such a case, the FMT is also the temperature at which deposits become sticky, and deposit accumulation accelerates.

This TIP summarizes available information on the effects of deposit composition on FMT, and shows how to estimate the FMT based on deposit composition.
