A North American pulp mill was looking to improve the operations and safety of their recovery boiler. They invested in a Valmet Furnace Imaging System, IR (Portable Mid-IR mobile inspection camera) with off-axis lens to safely manage the firing rate of their boiler. The Portable Mid-IR mobile inspection camera kit contains everything needed to inspect a boiler from any accessible port. The mobility kit is housed in a single wheeled case and includes an air filter and connection hose, rechargeable batteries and charger, and a heat shield to protect the user.
The mobile inspection camera is critical to operating the recovery boiler safely. Using the camera helps us safely manage the firing rate of the boiler.
