Upgrade the process burner, improve the boiler and burner controls, and incorporate heat recovery: Here are three ways to increase the efficiency of an industrial boiler system.
As boilers age, they become less efficient, thereby increasing operational costs. Replacing the boiler is the obvious choice; however, it may not be necessary. If the boiler pressure vessel is in good shape, upgrading the burner and controls while adding heat recovery can not only restore a boiler to its original efficiency but probably improve it.
Boiler lay-up is performed for many reasons but always with one main objective: to keep the boiler in good condition until it is time to put it back into operation. Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors can help make this process safer and easier.
Boilers used for steam and energy production, or operations such as washing, are sometimes taken offline for inspection and maintenance, or kept for backup use. Another common time for boilers to be out of service is during shipment or while in storage at a new plant still under construction.
Improve your steam heating return on investment by optimizing the cycles of concentration, enabling a higher condensate return. Other strategies include producing higher quality makeup water and implementing remote continuous operation and monitoring.
Process heating accounts for a large portion of the energy demand in industrial plants, and the fuel that is required to run a steam plant represents a costly and necessary reoccurring expense.
A no-cost webinar on November 18 at 2 p.m. will provide a basic explanation of a process steam system from the generation of steam in the boiler to its transport to the various energy users.
“Reducing NOX: Flue Gas Recirculation vs Selective Catalytic Reduction,” a one-hour webinar planned for October 28 at 2 p.m. ET, will focus on helping industrial boiler owners determine whether flue gas recirculation (FGR) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the better option for their facility.
Nebraska Public Power District, Nebraska’s largest electric utility, plans to replace an existing coal-fired boiler at its Sheldon Station plant in Hallam, Neb., with one that uses clean-burning hydrogen fuel.
On December 1, the Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to reconsider parts its clean air standards for industrial boilers and certain incinerators.
A no-cost webinar, "Boiler Basics: Design and Application Differences," is designed for individuals who need more of a fundamental background in boiler design and application.
A one-hour webinar from Cleaver-Brooks was created for engineers who would like to improve boiler reliability and efficiency as well as the environmental impact caused by combustion emissions.
