Co-firing Solid Recovered Fuels (SRFs) with brown coal in large-scale pulverised fuel power plants – a simulation approach
The results of the numerical simulations performed in a pulverised fuel boiler co-firing coal and Solid Recovered Fuels (SRFs) are presented. SRFs are initially modelled as a mixture of two different fractions (biogenic and plastic) and further simplifications are proposed to save computational expenses. The SRF submodels are validated with available data obtained from a laboratory-scale ...

Scalewatcher Success Saves San Antonio Housing Agency the Cost of Replacing Boilers Every Six Months
San Antonio Housing Agency (SAHA) is saving thousands of dollars a year at its Woodhill Apartments on expensive maintenance and replacement boilers every six to nine months following the installation of the patented, award-winning Scalewatcher computerized, electronic water-conditioner from Scalewatcher North America. Purchased following a successful four month trial at the apartments, the ...

"Real World" test results of Sialex device in industrial boiler
Laboratory is a useful step, but many times operations managers / maintenance engineers ask "Can it work in my operation?" A Sialex Ring appears a simple uncomplicated device yet it is designed to remove already existing as well as combat further "Scale" build-up in water bearing pipes and devices attached to these pipes. This includes boilers. "Hard" water (containing high concentrations of Ca ...

Chemically Inclined: The Case for Clean Boilers
Boiler cleaning is something most companies don’t want to think about — if boilers are working within operational limits it’s often easier to keep up with smaller preventative maintenance (PM) tasks but put off a total chemical clean until performance starts to suffer. The problem? Once scale forms on boiler surfaces both fuel and efficiency losses quickly ramp up. Here’s ...

Application of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid in boiler water for industrial boilers
The primary method used for boiler water treatment is the addition of chemicals to industrial boilers to prevent corrosion and scaling. The static scale inhibition method was used to evaluate the scale inhibition performance of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP). Autoclave static experiments were used to study the corrosion inhibition properties of the main material for ...

Domestic heating systems are more efficient with Scalewatcher
In hard water areas plumbing, hot water systems and appliances quickly become encrusted with limescale resulting in increasing energy bills and the early renewal of boilers and appliances. The award-winning, patented, Scalewatcher water-conditioner, from Scalewatcher North America, offers a simple and permanent solution to limescale thereby reducing energy bills and making heating systems more ...

Seniors can save money on energy bills with Scalewatcher
Since 2001 energy rates for consumers across America have doubled. These increases are impacting everyone’s wallet, with those on fixed income, such as seniors, suffering the most. Everyone is looking for ways to save money on their energy bills but for seniors it is even more essential. One way for seniors to achieve energy savings is to reduce limescale in a hot water system or boiler ...

Does ESG Have to Cost the Earth?
The term ESG may be new to most, and while it has only recently emerged as a global force, it dates as far back as 2005. Its aspirational beginnings vaporised quickly when talk of buildings with poor ESG ratings becoming “stranded assets” entered the narrative. Nobody wants to find themselves with one (or many) of those. A panic of sorts has now set in with one company trying to outdo ...

Understanding and preventing heat exchanger fouling
When operating in exceptionally challenging conditions, or handling difficult materials such as sewage and wastewater sludges, even the best designed heat exchangers will be susceptible to fouling. Understanding the different types of fouling and what causes them will help engineers and operators pick the best type of heat exchanger for their particular application and keep it running in optimum ...

Oil refinery reduces energy consumption with a Culligan Solution
Challenge A major petroleum refinery was looking to replace a hot lime softener. Naturally occurring minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium and Silica can cause scale in steam boilers and other types of equipment used in refinery operations. Scale deposits in steam boilers con reduce equipment efficiency and increase energy, chemical, disposal and maintenance costs. Hot lime softening is a ...

How to Use the Waste Heat in Your Factory as an Energy Source
Modern factories are investing in technology to reduce their energy consumption, costs and CO2 emissions. This is not new, but the process of digitalisation and decarbonisation has accelerated to meet global energy transition and sustainability goals.In addition, the constant increase in energy costs pushes companies to become more efficient and reduce overall expenditure to stay competitive. If ...
