Industrial Combustion Boilers

PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY STATUS – Combustion boilers are widely used to generate steam for industrial applications and power generation. While all kinds of energy sources fossil fuels, biomass, nuclear and solar energy, electricity can be used to generate heat and steam, the scope of this brief is limited to combustion boilers using fossil fuels and biomass. Boilers can be grouped into two broad ...

Value of electric heat boilers and heat pumps for wind power integration

Economic valuation of heat pumps and electric boilers in the Danish energy system

Heat pumps (HP) and electric immersion boilers (EB) have great potential to increase flexibility in energy systems. In parallel, decreasing taxes on electricity-based heat production are creating a more favorable economic environment for the deployment of these units in Denmark. In this paper, the economic value of heat pumps and electric boilers is assessed by simulating their day-to-day marke...

Advance Modelling and Simulation of Industrial Boilers

This paper presents some of the results of the simulation in the radiation section of an industrial boiler using an advanced mathematical model. Calculations are described for the flow, heat transfer, and chemical reaction processes occurring within a gas-fired cylindrical furnace. The calculation procedure is a two dimensional one in which the main hydrodynamic variables are the velocity and s...

Control of mercury emissions from coal-fired electric utility boilers.

Introduction During combustion, the mercury (Hg) in coal is volatilized and converted to elemental mercury (Hg) vapor in the high temperature regions of coal-fired boilers. As the flue gas is cooled, a series of complex reactions begin to convert Hg to ionic mercury (Hg) compounds and/or Hg compounds (Hgp) that are in a solid-phase at flue gas cleaning temperatures or Hg that is adsorbed onto t...
