Stable and optimized marine boiler process management

Marine steam and hot water boilers supply heat energy for vessel propulsion, domestic heating, fuel heating and cargo tank warming onboard ships. Stable pressure, temperature and combustion status are core to vessel navigation reliability. Given the criticality of boiler operating regulation, Valmet’s Boiler Control Concept delivers full-process intelligent control for marine boiler units. Deep integration with burner assemblies, feedwater pumps and safety valve interlock systems is available according to boiler vendor specifications. 

Boiler blowdown water contains scale impurities, dissolved salts and trace combustion residuals, while boiler exhaust needs emission monitoring to comply with marine air pollution regulations. Therefore, condition-based blowdown control and exhaust parameter supervision is essential to cut fuel consumption and meet international maritime emission requirements.
