YOUR CHALLENGE:
INCONSISTENT TRUST BETWEEN OPERATORS AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEMS
When operators can’t trust certain tools—for example, when a leak detection system is prone to false alarms—they’re likely to just abandon them. But as boilers and other mill equipment continue to age, detailed monitoring becomes more important. And operators are getting younger, which means they have less real-world experience and are more likely to rely on automated systems.
In order to better align operators, systems and equipment, many mills invest in computer-based training or develop more standard operating procedures (SOPs).

But not every operator learns the same way—and SOPs only work when they are inherently understood and consistently followed.
But not every operator learns the same way—and SOPs only work when they are inherently understood and consistently followed.
When there isn’t consistent trust between operators and your leak detection system, you risk overreacting to false alarms—or not reacting fast enough to legitimate warning signs.
THE SOLUTION:
EMPOWER CONFIDENT ACTION IN ANY LEAK SCENARIO
ELIMINATE EMOTIONAL DECISION-MAKING THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
When operators don’t have full confidence—in the systems or in themselves—they’re prone to panic. Providing a variety of learning resources, from videos to checklists to simulations, empowers decisive action in operators of all experience levels.
MONITOR PERFORMANCE BEYOND LEAK DETECTION
With more data—monitoring boiler fouling and sootblower operation, for instance—you can take action before an issue occurs, proactively increasing the safety of your operations.
VIEW CRITICAL LEAK DYNAMICS ON ONE SCREEN
With single-screen interface, you’ll understand the contributing factors to each alert and eliminate time wasted searching for information—shrinking that critical window between alarm and action.

The Recovery Boiler Advisor (RBA) is a support tool for use and incorporation in your comprehensive recovery boiler monitoring program. The RBA is focused on providing the operators with additional information and monitoring which allows operators to make decisions based on data, experience and expertise. The operator, and not the RBA, must always be the final determining factor as to what type of intervention is required.
