Exergoeconomic analysis of a Kalina cycle coupled coal–fired steam power plant
This paper presents exergoeconomic analysis of a Kalina cycle coupled coal–fired steam power plant using specific exergy costing (SPECO) methodology. Cost–balance and auxiliary equations are developed and solved. The results indicate that in the topping cycle, the boiler and the turbine contribute maximum to the formation of product cost. High value of exergoeconomic factor for the boiler ...

The “Tipping” Point of High Turndown Ratios: How much of a good thing is too much?
Boilers used for domestic water and space heating are one of the highest energy consumers in residential and commercial facilities. After the global energy crisis in the 1970s, higher fuel prices prompted the search for solutions to reduce energy consumption. Back then, conventional steam boilers were the only option available. However, these boilers were very inefficient (due in part to the ...

Design of boilers with catalytic fluidised bed and their connection to heat supply system
The new advantage of catalytic boiler consisting of the location of heat source near the consumer is described. It imposes some restrictions on the design of such a boiler, which is based on the zonal arrangement approach. The details of such design of boilers with catalytic fluidised bed intended for different purposes (water heating, steam generation, steam superheating) are considered and, in ...

Case Study: Steam Boiler Economiser Retrofit Project
ThermTech were asked to design, manufacture and retrofit two bespoke steam boiler economisers to the boilers for a UK based specialty chemicals production facility to help further improve the energy efficiency of the site. The two natural gas fired boilers located at the site’s boiler house are each designed to provide a maximum of 15,000 kg/hr of steam at 22 bar g maximum pressure to ...

Steam Boiler Chemicals
Steam boilers are vessels to which heat is applied so that water is continuously converted in to steam. ‘Feed water’ is the water added to a boiler to replace that lost due to evaporation and blow down. Often steam is condensed and returned to the boiler as part of the feed water. The primary objectives in boiler design, operation and effective treatment include: efficiency in heat ...

Case study - Keeping ethanol production green
OVERVIEW Originally published in Pollution Engineering Magazine. In an effort to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, there has been a major push towards alternatives. Ethanol has been at the forefront of this movement because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and its production has a positive net energy balance. The homegrown fuel also reduces the need for ...
