Performance goals include an increase in average throughput, improved boiler efficiency, elimination of process upsets associated with wash cycles, and elimination of operating restrictions. The justification of a mill project to the management level where budget authority lies is sometimes the most difficult step in a project. This article is a case history of the justification for a new economizer installed on the recovery boiler at New Bern, N.C. The justification proposal was based on both measurable and intuitive factors. All benefits were identified and an economic value was placed on those that were measurable.
