Abstract

The present invention provides a process for the control of a cleaning system for a boiler which incorporates factors related to the overall operation and efficiency of the boiler. Current values of plant data parameters associated with the boiler furnace are compared with respective setpoint values. The process then determines if the furnace is to be cleaned based on this comparison.
