Coal used to be the backbone of industrial process heat and power generation. Today it is still a very important. However, considering the consensus of anthropogenic climate change its use has to decrease in the future. ERK has designed coal-fired boiler systems for more than 70 years.
Coal fired boilers experience deposition and slagging depending upon the ash characteristics of ash in the coal being fired. In many cases the operating parameters also play a major role. The molten or partial melting pasty ash deposits in radiant heat transfer surface like boiler furnace is termed as slagging. The sintered ash deposit in the convection region in boiler is called fouling. Coal

If condensate isn’t returned to the boiler, the steam system must make up the loss with cold, untreated, raw water that has to be prepared for boiler operation. This preparation has a cost. The make-up water also contains substantially less BTU content that must be raised in the deaerator or atmospheric feed water heater.

For condensing to occur, the boiler’s heat exchanger surface temperature must be
Sep 09, 2018 · Thermal Power Plant Layout. Important Terms Used In Thermal Power Plant Or Steam Power Plant. Saturation Temperature – It is the temperature for a corresponding saturation pressure at which a liquid boil into its vapor phase. Wet Steam or Unsaturated Steam – It is a mixture which contain both water vapor and liquid water droplets. Most of
Testing Boiler Condensate. Steam condensate is like money in the bank for boiler owner-operators. It has already been purchased and treated, making it most desirable for reuse as feedwater. The more condensate returned to the boiler, the less make-up water needed. Its heat content, when recycled back to the boiler, generates energy savings.
Compared with the common furnace type, in the process of condensation and condensation of flue gas and steam in this series of boilers, harmful substances such as NOx in the flue gas are discharged along with the condensed water to achieve energy saving and emission reduction. Boiler Characteristics: 1.

Haycock and wagon top boilers. For the first Newcomen engine of 1712, the boiler was little more than large brewer's kettle installed beneath the power cylinder. Because the engine's power was derived from the vacuum produced by condensation of the steam, the requirement was for large volumes of steam at very low pressure hardly more than 1 psi (6.9 kPa) The whole boiler was set into brickwork
In a typical coal-fired boiler, coal is burned and the heat is extracted to generate steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine, which in turn, drives an electrical generator. Low pressure steam leaving the turbine is fed to a cooling system which extracts any residual heat and condenses the steam back to water.
Prediction of acid condensation has a critical role in designing heat exchangers to recover water vapor from power plant flue gas. Rates of mass transfer for condensation of sulfuric acid vapors onto heat exchanger tubes were theoretically investigated and a computer program for numerical simulations of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was developed.

When coal is oxidized (burned) as fuel, the elemental sulfur it contains is converted to SO2. Some of this SO2 is converted to SO3 when oxygen leftover from the combustion process causes further oxidation in the boiler. A system equipped with a selective catalytic reducer (SCR) to reduce NOX emissions will convert additional SO2 to SO3.
of sulfur (S) in coal is converted to SO 3 in coal-ﬁred combustion devices such as electric utility boilers. The emissions of SO 3 from such a boiler depend on coal S content, combustion conditions, ﬂue gas characteristics, and air pollution devices being used. It is well known that the catalyst used in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
