Abstract

Method of reducing corrosion in a power boiler of a pulp mill using biofuel and suspended matter obtained from the waste water treatment of the mill. In the method flue gases obtained from a waste heat boiler are fed into the power boiler, causing the sulfur dioxide contained in them to react with the alkali chlorides in the boiler and the chlorine to form hydrogen chloride.
