In my chemical plant, a refractory lined waste heat boiler has developed a hot spot. It is around size of a football and temp. is 300 degC. Can anyone provide information on how to cool this hot spot and continue the plant operation?

Should the spot grow in size or temperature, I'd start with blowing some steam on it to provide cooling. This is very commonly done. Depending on exact circumstances, a sooner than planned shutdown may be in order for a proper refractory or burner repair.
