Core offering

Wave Impact Heat Management designs, manufactures, and commissions proprietary boiler cleaning and optimization systems for industrial power, recovery, and marine boilers. Its core products are HISS® (High Impact Sootblowing System) for optimized steam-based cleaning and Infrasound Cleaning (Infrafone) using low-frequency acoustic waves, complemented by Acospector™ process analytics and Carryover Early Warning monitoring. All systems are custom-engineered per customer boiler using CFD and acoustic simulation, with on-site installation and commissioning.

Product overview

Heat Management offers a integrated suite of soot cleaning and boiler optimization solutions. The core technology portfolio includes HISS® (High Impact Sootblowing System) for optimized steam-based cleaning that doubles cleaning capacity without additional steam consumption, and Infrasound Cleaning Systems using low-frequency acoustic technology for preventive maintenance. These are complemented by Acospector™ Process Analytics for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, and the Carryover Early Warning System for recovery boiler protection. The products share a common purpose of maximizing boiler availability, improving efficiency, and extending equipment lifetime through intelligent, data-driven cleaning rather than reactive time-based approaches. CFD Simulation and Operation Analysis services support customer-specific optimization. All solutions are designed for industrial and marine boilers across applications including recovery boilers, power boilers, waste-to-energy, and cement production.

Products and services

• HISS® (High Impact Sootblowing System) Patented optimized steam sootblowing system that upgrades existing steam sootblowers with local valve control and overlapping operation. It doubles sootblowing capacity (starts per day) without installing additional sootblowers or consuming more steam, reducing steam consumption by up to 50% and cycle time by up to 60%. Sold to power plants, pulp mills, and waste-to-energy operators.
• Infrasound Cleaning System (Infrafone) Low-frequency acoustic cleaning system using sound waves below 30 Hz to preventively clean heat exchange surfaces on industrial boilers. Each installation is modeled using acoustic simulation software and tailored to the specific boiler dimensions and operational parameters. The technology reduces sootblowing in economizer and air preheater by 50% and can fully eliminate catalyst sootblowing in SCR systems.
• Acospector™ Process Analytics Non-intrusive real-time monitoring system using advanced acoustic analysis to understand process flow dynamics. Monitors fluid density, particle concentration, and acoustic properties, providing predictive alerts for fouling, carryover events, and anomalies before they cause unplanned shutdowns. Generates operational fingerprints and enables condition-based cleaning triggers.
• Carryover Early Warning System Patented monitoring system that detects conditions preceding black liquor carryover events in recovery boilers. Uses visual and acoustic data to provide early warnings of fouling build-up and carryover, and records and stores images of sootblower lance for coating change tracking.
• Multi-Position Actuator for Sootblowers New actuator technology that replaces mechanical opening and closing mechanisms on steam valves of sootblowers, reducing wear and tear associated with traditional mechanical valves. Engineered as a hardware upgrade for HISS® and other steam sootblowing systems.
• Installation, Commissioning and Engineering Services Engineering and technical services for installation, commissioning, testing, and adjustment of HISS control systems and Infrasound cleaners. Projects are managed by project engineers and executed with customer site presence.
• CFD Simulation Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation services for analyzing boiler performance, fouling patterns, and cleaning optimization. Used to engineer site-specific solutions for each customer boiler before installation.
• Operation Analysis Analysis services for optimizing boiler operations and identifying efficiency improvement opportunities, drawing on operational data from customer plants.
