Tests of a boiler combustion tuning system employing artificial intelligence (AI) at a Taiwanese coal-fired power unit verify improvements to fuel economy that could ultimately reduce costs by up to ...

With environmental and economic constraints driving power plants towards cleaner and more efficient operations, it is imperative that the main process in a fossil-fueled boiler, combustion, should be ...

When equipment in the boiler room fails, it can be a building owner’s and facility manager’s worst nightmare. Whether a boiler is condensing or non-condensing, built with copper, cast iron, or ...

Once pulverized coal flows have been measured, they can be balanced and optimized. Until then, tuning is simply guesswork. The right way to balance furnace fuel flows is to establish solid baseline ...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to propose tough new standards that require all new coal-fired electricity plants to cut carbon, NOx and other emissions by significant amounts.

For new installations and annual maintenance, the combustion analyzer has become a critical tool for HVAC professionals. Used for both furnaces and boilers, the basic hand-held device measures carbon ...

Know your options when selecting the appropriate flowmeter technology to measure natural gas, water, and steam in power generation. In many chemical plants, the electricity the plant uses is derived ...
