ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting leakage from a chemical recovery boiler system of the type which includes a recovery boiler and associated output steam piping includes the steps of measuring fluid input into the recovery boiler system; measuring fluid output from the recovery boiler system; and calculating fluid leakage loss based on the differences between the measured fluid input and output values.
