Q & A > Question Details
In our FCC unit regenerator outlet flue gas goes to flue gas boiler and generate 95 TPH high pressure steam.
We are doing 3 times soot blowing in a day (24 hrs) for remove catalyst from water tubes. Can water tubes damage or effected due to many times of soot blowing?

Tube damage for flue gas boiler is common. I have learned from few of our customers. We generally follow instructions provided by OEM as the guarantee of the equipment lies with them.
I will suggest you ask them the cycle of soot blowing they considered for designing the cooler. This will give you the best answer.
