Webinar: Optimizing Coal Boiler Performance: Reducing Slagging, Fouling, and Efficiency Losses
Coal-fired power plants across Southeast Asia are increasingly operating under challenging conditions—burning higher ash coals, managing slagging and fouling, and striving to maintain efficiency and reliability while minimizing operational costs.
This webinar will explore how advanced pre-combustion fuel treatment technologies can help plants mitigate slagging and fouling, improve heat transfer, stabilize combustion, and restore lost boiler capacity.
CoalTreat®, an advanced fuel treatment solution developed by EES, modifies ash chemistry prior to combustion to improve furnace conditions and boiler performance. Plants implementing the technology have reported measurable operational improvements, including significant slagging reduction, improved combustion stability, and reduced coal consumption through improved ash behavior and heat transfer.
Join industry experts as they discuss practical approaches to improving coal boiler performance without major capital modifications.
What You Will Learn
- Key causes of slagging and fouling in coal-fired boilers
- Operational impacts of high-ash and opportunity coals
- How advanced fuel treatment modifies ash chemistry before combustion
- Strategies to improve heat transfer and reduce boiler derates
- Real-world case examples of slag reduction and performance improvements
- Practical implementation approaches requiring minimal plant modifications
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for professionals involved in coal-fired power plant operations, including:
- Power plant managers
- Boiler engineers and combustion specialists
- Operations & maintenance teams
- Fuel procurement and coal blending teams
- Plant performance engineers
- Utility asset management team
Why This Matters for Southeast Asian Plants
Many power plants in Southeast Asia operate with higher ash coals and varying coal blends, creating persistent slagging and fouling challenges that reduce efficiency and increase maintenance costs.
Advanced fuel treatment technologies such as CoalTreat® have been commercially deployed across more than 11,000 MW of generating capacity, helping plants improve performance while maintaining operational flexibility.
Secure your spot for this technical webinar and learn how coal plants can improve reliability, reduce slagging, and enhance boiler performance.
