KEM – SOOT

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KEM-SOOT soot combustion catalyst is a combination of efficient combustion
catalysts to remove fireside deposits at a controlled rate. The severity of fireside
deposits is mainly dependent on the ash and carbon residue content of the fuel
and overall combustion efficiency. Controlled fireside deposit removal permits
burning to take place without the hazards of soot fires which occur when oxidation
is too rapid.
KEM-SOOT combustion catalyst reacts with combustible carbonaceous deposits in
the soot, breaking down the combustible binders that hold the deposits together
and cause its adhesion to boiler screen and superheater tubes. The loose, dry ash
resulting from the action of KEM-SOOT combustion catalyst is then carried out
with the stack gases or is broken up and eliminated during normal soot blowing
operation. KEM-SOOT combustion catalyst helps reduce fireside corrosion by
removing the binders of corrosion deposits. Generally, in order for untreated soot
to ignite and burn, the temperature must reach approximately
593° C. KEM-SOOT combustion catalyst acts to reduce the ignition temperature of
the carbonaceous combustibles in the cooler areas of the boiler so that they will
burn off and release the i
