MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631065530 A) filed by Vaibhav Grover on May 21, 2026, for Predictive Model For Boiler Tube Leakage In Power Plant.
Inventors include Debasish Das; and Pravin Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer implemented predictive model and application for early detection and prevention of Boiler Tube Leakage in thermal power plants. The invention integrates operational parameters, maintenance data, and water chemistry data onto a single analytical platform to predict the probability of boiler tube failure prior to actual leakage. The system continuously monitors critical boiler health parameters including, but not limited to, drum level variation, metal temperature, pressure, heat flux, and water chemistry indicators, and compares real time values against predefined thresholds and historical trends. Using advanced analytics and statistical correlation developed through Python based algorithms, the model identifies deviations and abnormal patterns indicative of impending boiler tube degradation or failure. Upon detection of such deviations, the application generates automated alerts, alarms, and electronic notifications to concerned operational, maintenance, and engineering personnel, enabling timely preventive or corrective actions. Additionally, the invention assesses remaining boiler tube life, facilitating informed maintenance planning and decision making to ensure uninterrupted boiler operation for extended durations. The predictive model significantly reduces forced outages, generation losses, and corrective maintenance costs by enabling proactive intervention, thereby improving plant reliability, operational sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
