How Tyre Pyrolysis Plants Are Helpful
A tyre pyrolysis plant uses an industrial method that converts used tyres into liquid fuel, including oils and gases.There are 2 forms of processes utilized: direct and indirect. In a direct process, the rubber is heated within an oxygen-free environment at 300 to 600 °C for a number of hours, inducing the hydrocarbon chains inside the tyre to interrupt into smaller pieces. A byproduct with this ...

The Hidden Dangers Inside Boiler Rooms - Why You Need a Boiler Room Gas Monitor
Carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide gas is produced from the incomplete burning of natural gas, wood, coal, oil, propane gas, or anything else that contains carbon. In enclosed spaces such as boiler rooms, where fuels such as natural gas, oil, coal, or propane may be used, CO levels can rise quickly creating a dangerous health and safety risk. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, ...

Hydropower: Why Use Thermal Insulation in Hydroelectric Plants?
Thermal insulation is a means of stopping heat transfer from one object to another. It is usually used to decrease levels of heat transfer via conduction, requiring objects to be in direct contact, and can also be used to prevent heat transfer via radiation. Thermal conductivity of materials determines the rate of heat transfer between objects. Ceramics and metals which have high thermal ...

Steam Boiler Chemicals
Steam boilers are vessels to which heat is applied so that water is continuously converted in to steam. ‘Feed water’ is the water added to a boiler to replace that lost due to evaporation and blow down. Often steam is condensed and returned to the boiler as part of the feed water. The primary objectives in boiler design, operation and effective treatment include: efficiency in heat ...
