The presence of unburned fuel in a power plant’s ash indicates an inefficient combustion process, as some of the energy in the fuel is being wasted. Unburned fuel also poses a risk to safety; if ...

Controlling excess combustion air and unburned carbon losses is the key to finding the sweet spot in this biomass boiler approach. Bagasse, a renewable biomass fuel, is the fibrous residue remaining ...

Zonal combustion monitoring systems provide a way to improve burner fuel and/or airflow control. Such systems combine online combustibles (COeq) and excess oxygen (O 2) sensors with information about ...

Cause personal injury, such as from falling objects. Engineers, installing contractors, owners and operators, technicians, and equipment manufacturers alike have struggled with the identification, ...

Know your options when selecting the appropriate flowmeter technology to measure natural gas, water, and steam in power generation. In many chemical plants, the electricity the plant uses is derived ...

One of the easiest ways for a business to reduce operating expenses is to increase boiler efficiency. A great place for a business to start lowering their bills is to look at recently performed boiler ...

Old boiler systems with outdated, inefficient equipment are the norm for our industry. This is because boiler technology is largely stable, and boilers are reliable pieces of equipment that can last ...

From an engineering perspective, a water tube boiler is defined by the fact that water or steam–water mixture flows inside the tubes while high-temperature flue gas passes outside the tubes. In ...
