Recovery boiler performance calculation - short form

• The calculation procedure described herein provides a relatively simple, standardized method for rating thermal performance of recovery units.
• The procedure uses an overall energy and mass balance to establish the thermal conversion efficiency--the amount of steam produced relative to the energy expended.
• The primary use of the procedure is to establish an operating efficiency for a recovery boiler. Periodic use of the procedure will allow the monitoring of performance trends. This procedure is not suitable for guarantee performance testing.
• The procedure may also be used to roughly estimate the impact of changes to operating variables on overall thermal performance.
