The Diamond Power Gemini sootblower nozzle, designed specifically for recovery boiler applications, is a popular upgrade, which outperforms other nozzle designs with its patented, cast body and staggered jets. It is engineered to reduce steam consumption and increase cleaning energy, by up to 29% in some installations (compared to alternative designs). By delivering two high-impact jets in a balanced flow, the Gemini nozzle also cuts sootblower-induced tube erosion by up to 60%, extending boiler tube life.
The Gemini nozzle is an easy retrofit onto your existing sootblowers, making it a quick upgrade that can yield significant savings in steam costs and maintenance. The Gemini sootblower nozzle dramatically enhances cleaning performance while significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs as well as steam consumption. We can assist you in calculating the steam savings and economic payback of installing Gemini sootblower nozzles.
Provides equal cleaning distribution, thereby reducing the potential for sootblower-induced boiler tube erosion by approximately 60%
Increases average impact energy delivered by the two nozzle jets at any given steam supply pressure
Various Gemini nozzles have been developed to tackle specific recovery boiler cleaning needs, including:
Cleaning between platen and pendant sections
Lane cleaning
Conventional steam sources
Low pressure steam sources (Gemini LP)
Our experienced engineers and field representatives are available to assist you in determining the right nozzle for your recovery boiler application, calculating the steam savings and economic payback of installing Gemini sootblower nozzles.
