FMS — Fouling Monitoring System
“See the slag building up — and blow soot where the boiler is dirty, not on a timer.”
FMS — Fouling Monitoring System
- $500K+/year steam & fuel savings from fouling-directed sootblowing.
- Prevents plugging events and unplanned outages; informs outage planning.
- Continuous fouling index per boiler section — operators see it trend in real time.
- Wireless Strain Nodes on hanger rods install in days on a running plant.
Scope: Strain/load measurement of deposit weight on support structure; live fouling index & section-level dashboards; sootblower effectiveness trends (pairs with SFD); alerts, historian/PI integration; patented technology, 40+ recovery boilers of heritage.
Fouling-directed cleaning economics documented in ITM white papers.
Next step: see how FMS scales from a single boiler to a plant-connected program.

Torque-based Edge Insights: ITM iTestSystem Automated Analytics + Binsfeld TT50
In industrial and marine environments, the drivetrain is often the most critical — and least monitored — part of the system. Rotating shafts transferring torque through gearboxes, couplings, and propellers generate enormous forces that, left unmeasured, become the root cause of unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance cycles. Traditional torque measurement solutions require shaft…

The Business Case for ITM’s Sootblower Intelligent Maintenance and Fouling-Directed Cleaning Solutions Executive Summary Sootblowers are essential for keeping recovery, biomass, and power boilers clean and efficient. However, without proper monitoring and maintenance, they can become hidden sources of steam waste, mechanical failures, and even safety risks. Integrated Test and Measurement (ITM) has developed the…
