The Pulverize is a major part of the boiler combustion system and an important part in the system of steam power plant (PLTU). Pulverizer plant serves to break chunks of coal into the coal ash was then fed to the burner. Type of feed coal into a pulverize is cleaned with a value product pulverize optimum 30%. The percentage of this value greatly affects the production of steam in the boiler. Th...

Renewable energy sources are essential paths towards sustainable development and CO2 emission reduction. For example, the European Union has set the target of achieving 22% of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2010. However, the extensive use of this energy source is being avoided by some technical problems as fouling and slagging in the surfaces of boiler heat exchangers. Althou...

The product of corrosion in the feed water system transported into the boiler and gets deposited on the internal surface of waterwall tubes. Proper treatment of boiler feedwater effectively protects against corrosion of feedwater heaters, economizers, and deaerators. It leads to overheating and on-load corrosion and ultimately tube failure.. Heat is transferred through a thin layer of superheat...

Every six months or so the majority of steamdriven ships spend a few days in docks having their boilers scaled and cleaned. In the larger docks there are men who are employed full time in this occupation, but elsewhere and in industry generally the cleaning is more often done as an occasional job. The total number of men engaged in the work full time is not large, but the occupation is a very d...

Wall thinning due to corrosion in utility boiler waterwall tubing is a significant operational concern for boiler operators. Historically, conventional ultrasonics has been used for inspection of these tubes. Unfortunately, ultrasonic inspection is very manpower intense and slow. Therefore, thickness measurements are typically taken over a relatively small percentage of the total boiler wall an...

in this research, feasibility study of integrating thermal desalination unit with gas turbine (gt) has been investigated using retrofit and grass root design techniques  for lavan island oil refinery which is located in persian gulf. according to computed parameters on developed code for the power generation unit no.1 using ees (engineering equation solver) software, thermal efficiency of the g...

The title of the paper purports to discuss the feasibility of 100% RDF firing for power generation. It is implied that it is possible to fire 100% RDF in a single boiler. However, for the case study cited, the author suggests a much more elaborate system for a 16 MW system. The flow sheet suggests 80% heat input from RDF and 20% from coal. He also suggests that three boilers handle the RDF. Thi...

Article history: Received October 15, 2011 Accepted 10 March 2012 Available online 12 March 2012 The recent development of world is being adversely affected by the scarcity of power and energy. To survive in the next generation, it is thus necessary to explore the non-conventional energy sources and efficiently consume the available sources. For efficient exploitation of the existing energy sou...
