Energy efficiency and emission reduction of TPM, PM2.5, and SO2 from natural gas and fuel oil fired boiler exhausts
Fully 8% of all of Canada’s energy consumption occurs in gas and fuel oil fired boilers in commercial and institutional facilities1, with proportional amounts of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, and other pollutants. Recently particulate matter, and in particular that smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) has garnered specific attention due to attributed health effects as demonstrated by ...

Efficient steam production in paper mills
The paper and pulp industry is an energy and emission intensive industry. Steam is an essential part of the paper making process with steam boilers, steam distribution systems and other processes accounting for a large percentage of a paper mill’s energy costs. Useful energy is often lost from boilers and process equipment such as heat exchangers, dryers, evaporators etc, as well as from ...

Case study - Georgia Gulf Chemical & Vinyl, LLC, Aberdeen, MS
Our company purchased a Sidel SRU 400-80 condensing economizer from Marspec in 2010. Today it operates on an 80,000 pound/hr boiler, but was sized to also handle the exhaust flow of a second boiler of 40,000 lb/hr in the future. The economizer has run without requiring any maintenance, and has worked effectively in the time since it was installed. I was really surprised when I saw how much ...

Cleaning Up Gasification Syngas
Documento sin título Introduction By definition, gasification is the art of changing a non-gaseous substance, such as a liquid or a solid, into a gas. By this definition, processes such as combustion, anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis would be classified as gasification. However, in today’s world, gasification is defined as any process, which produces a “synthesis gas” or a ...

Case study - Keeping ethanol production green
OVERVIEW Originally published in Pollution Engineering Magazine. In an effort to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, there has been a major push towards alternatives. Ethanol has been at the forefront of this movement because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and its production has a positive net energy balance. The homegrown fuel also reduces the need for ...
