Aerovit Installation - Orlén Refinery, Lithuania - Case Study
Situation BEFORE Aerovit Installation Orlen Lietuva Refinery has two boilers which are losing a considerable amount of heat due to catalyst dust build-up in the tubes. After two month of operation the boilers tubes are fully covered by catalysts dust, but Orlen ´s technicians cannot stop them for manual cleaning because it would imply the whole refinery to shut down. The diagram shows ...

Rotary Boiler Technology: Paving a new way for the combustion of solid wastes
We’re the UK’s sole distributor of Sugimat’s Waste-to-Energy (WtE) boilers, and the latest technology – the Horizon+ rotary boiler – is capable of handling any type of biomass and most fuels, particularly problematic solid waste fuels such as RDF and SRF. Our MD, Simon Webb, recently spoke to The Energy Industry Times about the global Waste-to-Energy (WtE) ...

How Nondestructive Testing of Boiler Tubes Solves Major Challenges
Boiler tubes are a key component of steam power and as such are subjected to terrible force. This means that boiler tube weld inspection is crucial to keeping mission-critical operations safe. Over time, phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) has emerged as one of the best means of non-destructive testing (NDT) of boiler tubes. This technique allows for comprehensive inspections that reduce ...

Water-tube or fire-tube condensing boiler, which is the better option?
When it comes to selecting the type of boiler for your specific hot water application, you are faced with the options of a condensing boiler or a conventional boiler. If you think the decisions end after making this choice, think again! If you do in fact proceed with the more efficient condensing boiler, there is another important decision to be made – what boiler design is best suited for ...

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 ...

Economics of tiny thermal power plants
Thermal power plants is the main source of energy and electricity in India and almost all countries of the world. Most of the giant thermal power plants have capacity of 500MW to 1000 MW. Investment in such giant thermal power plants is Rs 100 million per MW including transmission lines and distribution lines. ( 60 rupees = 1 US$, MW=1000KW). So 1000MW thermal power plant costs Rs 100 million/MW ...

Why carbon reduction and energy efficiency must be combined
With all the eyes focused on carbon emissions prior to Cancun, it’s vital not to lose sight of the need to combine carbon reduction with energy efficiency. Reducing carbon emissions is generally associated with an increase in energy efficiency. But, it is possible to reduce such carbon emissions while still operating inefficient systems. A biomass boiler, for example, reduces carbon ...

Gatineau Hospital, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
Commercial Boiler Application Thermal Energy installed FLU-ACE system to recover 5.5 mmBTU/h of waste heat from the flue gases emanating from three Volcano water tube boilers. The single 16 ft. high FLU-ACE tower replaced three independent boiler steel stacks. The installation is unique in several ways, including the very high temperature of the flue gases (up to 650 °F) processed by the ...

Evaluation of the optimum efficiency of fire tubes boilers
Three-stage pirotubular boilers using gasoil C have been studied. Two boilers were connected in parallel. The data has been obtained by means of an analyser; its probe was connected at the exit of the boilers. The operation parameters considered were the injection pressure and the number of burners. As the emission of pollutants must be within the values prescribed by legislation, these are ...

Catalytic boilers with catalytic fluidised bed
In this paper, conditions of work, special features and problems of boilers with catalytic fluidised bed are described. The specific conditions, when the catalyst layer remains stationary and granular or becomes spouting, are also considered. There are some main zones in the catalytic boilers with fluidised bed, which characterise such boilers and which must exist in them under normal working ...
