In the marine steam power plant, the main boiler has the small size and the little heat capacity. However, marine ship requires high maneuverability, when it is running, the loads varied frequently, and the varying range is big, and this will cause the boiler security problem, such as over-pressure or under-voltage. The marine steam power plant boilerturbine coordinated control strategy is to s...

Pulp and paper mills are high power consuming industries. Pulp and integrated mills produce power via steam turbines in recovery boilers. Due to high power prices and the fact that biomass combusted in the recovery boiler is considered as green energy, there is today a desire to always increase the power generation when investing in new recovery boilers. In order to increase power output from t...

Cogeneration may be defined as a system which contains electricity production and regain of the thermo value of exhaust gases simultaneously. The examination is based on the data’s of an active cogeneration plant. This study, it is aimed to determine which component of the system should be revised first to raise the efficiency and decrease the loss of exergy. For this purpose, second law analys...

Performance of a fuzzy system identifier is investigated against a fossil fuel boiler data. A multi-layer neuro-ftrzzy system presents identification of a drum type boiler. This identification techruque provides a rule-based approach to express the boiler dynamics in fuzzy rules that are generated from the experimental boiler data. The interconnections of neuro-fuzzy layers furnish these fuzzy ...

This paper assesses the challenges of alternative solar systems based on hybrid PVT collectors coupled with an absorption chiller (AbCH, single-stage NH3-H2O) in food-processing industry, from technical, economic and environmental points view. type industry is usually characterised by a constant cooling demand throughout year, hot water for production processes electricity consumption factory e...

Viscose rayon is a natural fabric from regenerated cellulose derived wood pulp, bamboo, or cotton linters. The viscose industry relies on electricity to generate steam for textile production. This study aims optimize the 45-ton-per-hour Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion (AFBC) boiler. Its efficiency 78.16%, lower than benchmark of 85.78%. Boiler decreases as flue gas temperature increases, r...

this paper deals with a failure investigation of boiler feed pump’s shaft of a steam power plant. boiler feed water pump is a specific type of pump used to pump, feed water into a steam boiler and is one of most important part of steam power plants. feed pumps failure may cause failure of another part of steam power station, therefore keep them safe is an important problem. there are 12 feed pu...

cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. in this paper, the performance of thermal oil boiler...

Fouling and slagging are some difficulties for the development of biomass as energy potential and to achieve the targets of renewable energy sources utilization. The proper technique to analyze the influence of fouling in a biomass boiler is to monitorize the evolution of heat absorption in heat transfer equipment. Traditional equation-based monitoring techniques have problems to tackle with th...

The central Tongaat-Hulett Sugar Refinery in Rossburgh generates steam and part of its electrical power requirement from burning coal, with the balance of electricity being purchased from the Durban Corporation grid. Energy is one of the Refinery's major cost components. The efficient use of this commodity is therefore important to its financial viability. Outside consultants examined the energ...
