Slagging and Fouling Indices Index Formu PDF

The document outlines several indices used to determine the propensity of ash to cause slagging or fouling in boilers. The indices include: 1) ash fusion temperature, 2) base-acid ratio, 3) slagging factor, 4) T250 temperature, 5) iron-calcium ratio, 6) iron plus calcium percentage, and 7) slagging index. Each index is associated with ranges that indicate low, medium, or high propensity for slagging or fouling.
