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

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 ...

Combustion in boilers and furnaces remains a pivotal area of research, central to optimising energy efficiency and minimising pollutant emissions in industrial and power generation applications.

Variable conditions like coal quality, boiler cleanliness and equipment deterioration can affect a coal-fired power plant’s performance—and that’s where combustion optimization systems come in, to ...

Tests of a boiler combustion tuning system employing artificial intelligence (AI) at a Taiwanese coal-fired power unit verify improvements to fuel economy that could ultimately reduce costs by up to ...

Industrial plants need steam for heating and other processes. Boilers are commonly used to provide this steam, and you may be called on to operate the boilers in your plant. The first step toward the ...

Oil/gas refinery and other process engineers will find the MT100 Series Multipoint Mass Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides the accurate air/gas flow measurements needed to ...

Monitoring the carbon monoxide equivalent (COe) in coal-fired power plants is a critical requirement. The focus of coal-fired boilers is shifting towards heat rate efficiency. The future limits that ...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to propose tough new standards that require all new coal-fired electricity plants to cut carbon, NOx and other emissions by significant amounts.
