General Announcements
Withdrawal of Standard
The following Standard has been administratively withdrawn by the responsible SSIG, with approval from the Standards Advisory Review Group (SARG) on October 3, 2018, due to lack of continued interest in the method:
T 676 cm-08 "Viscosity of starch and starch products"
The TAPPI Standards guidelines allow for reinstatement of withdrawn Standards if properly reviewed by the responsible Standard-Specific Interest Group. If you have any interest in working on the reinstatement of this Standard, please contact the Standards Department (standards@tappi.org) at TAPPI.
SSIG members who have missed three ballots in a row from any SSIG will be dropped out of the SSIG roster. However, failing to vote on 3 ballots from 3 different SSIGs will result in a removal from all SSIGs rosters.
In accordance with TAPPI Standards Guidelines - Section 6.3.3 Participation in Standard-Specific Interest Groups:
"Any SSIG member who fails to return three ballots in a row on a particular Standard shall be dropped from membership from that SSIG. Any TAPPI member who is dropped from three SSIGs due to failure to return ballots will also be dropped from all SSIGs."
Any SSIG member dropped may request reinstatement to the roster by writing to standards@tappi.org. Proposed New TIPs
The scope of the proposal for a new Technical Information Paper is shown below, as well as the title of the new proposal, the assigned Subject Category and the name of the Working Group Chair (WGC).
0416 - Steam & Power / Energy Management
Sootblower Safety and Upgrade Guideline - WGC: Mohomed Ishaq Jameel
The availability of the Recovery boiler is critical to the continuous operation of a Kraft pulp and paper mills. Sootblowers play a crucial role to the safe and efficient operation of the boiler. These sootblowers are operated on a continuous basis. The lack of availability of any critical blowers for an extended period of time leads to heavy fouling of the heat transfer surfaces and the eventual plugging of the flue gas passes. This tip addresses the best practices for the operation and maintenance of these pieces of equipment. It provides a window into common areas for problems and some general suggestions to avoid them. It covers in general some of the crucial components and subcomponents of a sootblower. General recommendations of what to do and what NOT to do when it comes to the proper and safe operation sootblowers is covered. The owners should always consult their O&M manuals and the manufacturers for specific details on their equipment. This TIP does not provide any design standards, critical operating parameters or guidelines for acceptance criteria when it comes to inspection. It is not the intent of the TIP to provide detailed welding procedures. It is expected that welds meet at the qualifications for ASME section IX This TIP is meant to serve as a reference to owners/users of sootblowers. It is not the intent of this TIP to evaluate or compare designs of different sootblower models.
If you would like to join the Working Group of this new proposal, please write to tip@tappi.org
