Turning down the heat - Innovation Magazine
Although not the main contributor on a global scale, combustion by industry has been associated with localized high volume and high concentration sources of CO2 emissions. This is especially true for industries characterized by high energy consumption such as the pulp and paper, chemical, gas and petroleum, steel and mineral processing industries. In addition, the high exhaust temperatures of ...

Pollutant emissions from modern incinerators
Emissions of dioxins are mainly from incinerators, domestic and industrial coal combustion, and traffic. However, the major public concern and research effort are associated with the emissions of organic micropollutants from waste incinerators. This paper gives a brief overview of the more recent research and development for the removal of dioxins and heavy metals from flue-gas streams. Special ...

China’s booming energy efficiency industry
China’s energy efficiency industry is emerging as a high growth sector with the country projected to spend as much as Rmb2.1 trillion (USD300 billion) over the next five years on products and services that cut energy use. The key drivers of this development are the Chinese government’s determination to curb the country’s expanding energy appetite as well as higher production and energy costs. ...

EU regulation of combustion plant - A power industry perspective
Any installation that contains combustion plant with an aggregated thermal input greater than 50 MW is regulated under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) which requires that Best Available Techniques are applied to emissions control. Individual plant with a thermal input greater than 50 MW are regarded as Large Combustion Plant and additional provisions apply, including mandatory Emission ...

Cumulative exergetic assessment of LPFO utilised steam boilers
This paper relates to a study on the energy and exergy resources, transfers, consumption and losses in the combustion and heat exchanging units of industrial steam boilers. Mass, energy and exergy analyses, which included the physical and chemical exergies of material streams, were used to investigate the energy resource utilisation of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) in industrial steam boilers. The ...

Enhancing Furnace Performance with High Alumina Refractory Bricks
In industrial applications, proper material selection plays an important role in ensuring process efficiency, longevity and safety. High alumina refractory bricks have become an integral part of high temperature environments such as furnaces, kilns and incinerators. These specialty bricks are highly resistant to heat, corrosion and wear, making them an important choice for industries ranging from ...

How to Achieve Precise Air-Fuel Ratio Control in Burner Control Applications
Mass flow control is all around us. One common application for industrial mass flow control is air-fuel ratio control of burners in industrial heating processes for manufacturing and other industries. For burner control in manufacturing, precise mass flow control of the air-fuel ratio to the burner keeps melt temperatures constant which produces quality products including glass, metals, and ...

Main uses of wood pellets
As a new type of energy, wood pellet fuel is slowly affecting people's lives. It is now mainly used in three aspects: 1. Small kilns are used to heat the home and supply life energy. This kind of application is mainly based on biomass pellet fuel, which is used more in Northern Europe. Because there is no related product development in China, its application is almost blank. 2. The unprocessed ...

Waste co-incineration in the European Community, is the sky the limit?
The co-combustion of waste in industrial furnaces -co-incineration- attracts considerable interest in the European Community, because of the combination of perceived business incentives, regulatory developments, and the slate of available technological options. It was found, however, that EU-regulation developed to ensure safe and environmentally acceptable processing of waste represents a clear ...

A STIEFEL project KVA Linthgebiet Niederurnen case study
The waste incineration plant KVA Linthgebiet is situated in Switzerland. The plant disposes of a total of 120’000 tons of waste each year from 240‘000 inhabitants in the surrounding area. Due to the thermal recovery, it produces annually 84 GWhour of electrical energy and therefore saves 250’000 litres of fuel oil by providing energy to a district heating system. Background and ...
