Abstract
A system and method for presenting the tradeoffs among the sensitivity, false alarms and off-line operation of recovery boiler leak detection systems. For any given recovery boiler, the system and method utilizes prior data from that recovery boiler to provide the operator of that boiler with the ability to balance how sensitive the recovery boiler leak detection system can be along with how many false alarms of the recovery boiler leak detection system will be tolerated and along with how much off-line operation of the recovery boiler leak detection system will be acceptable.
