MPW provides smelt pumping services in cases where boilers do not have a sloped floor and smelt tends to accumulate. MPW pumps smelt into a dissolving tank, allowing the recovery boiler to cool faster and reducing the need for water blasting. Additionally, MPW uses customized smelt bed wash tools to hydraulically index a 2D rotating head at the end of a rod, which is inserted into the boiler. This tool has the capability of reaching all the way to the rear wall and can be angled to clean hard-to-reach areas. When the tool is pulled back, smelt buildup is pushed through spouts and into the dissolving tank.
