Patent number: 7395760Abstract: A device, system and method permitting on-line explosives-based cleaning and deslagging of a fuel burning facility (31) such as a boiler, furnace, incinerator, or scrubber. A coolant, such as ordinary water, is delivered to the explosives (101) to prevent them from detonating due to the heat of the on-line facility. Thus, controlled, appropriately-timed detonation can be initiated as desired, and boiler scale and slag is removed without the need to shut down or cool down the facility.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2005Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: NorthAmerican Industrial Services, Inc.Inventors: Francis Zilka, Timothy Zilka, Kurt Prouty, Donald Howard
