    Buckman’s Recovery Boiler Advisor leak detection system gives boiler operators updated information four times a minute.

    With worker safety embedded in company cultures and constant market pressure to run leaner, your operators are caught between safety and production concerns every time a potential recovery boiler leak is detected.  And as they weigh whether to initiate an emergency shutdown procedure or keep systems running and investigate, they have to consider numerous sights, sounds, and data points from the boiler.

    In most cases, your operators haven’t been able to easily and confidently simulate recovery boiler leak scenarios, which prevents confidence building over time. And specialty instruments, chemicals, or homebrew systems add more inputs to consider, as well as frequent cleaning, calibration, and maintenance concerns. As a result, many of these systems drift or fall into disuse, giving the mill a false sense of security. And that means leaks can go undetected longer, leading to adjacent equipment damage, costly shutdowns, and in worst-case scenarios, catastrophic failure.

    Mill mangers and operators need to stop thinking about leak detection as discrete, moment-in-time events; but rather a collection of leak dynamics evolving in real time. Once you change thinking from detection to dynamics, you need to drive safety with purpose by gathering a wider set of boiler data that includes symptoms, locations, and recommended actions. Trade maintenance for mastery by eliminating extraneous sensors and focusing more on your equipment. Empower operators to separate false alarms from real, so they can take confident action in all leak scenarios.

    When you do this, you’ll be more proactive about slowdowns and shutdowns, limiting repair costs and maximizing production. You’ll also run leaner with your own equipment, while reducing your workers’ safety risks and avoiding catastrophic events.
