Abstract
In studies in four recovery furnaces, pressure drop across the heat tr ansfer banks was observed to increase gradually after the first 4-10 d ays of operation. Draft loss did not increase dramatically just before a water wash was required. Operation of certain sootblowers in the ec onomizer section of the first furnace was found to be crucial to preve nt plugging and draft loss, although these sootblowers had little effe ct on the heat transfer efficiency or degree of fouling in the economi zer.
