Introduction When it comes to obtaining clean and purified water, the reverse osmosis (RO) system is a popular choice for many households and industries. Reverse osmosis utilizes a fascinating process to remove impurities and contaminants from water, providing high-quality drinking water and various industrial applications. In this article, we will …

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object or system to another. This can occur in a variety of ways, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Each method of heat transfer plays a significant role in the everyday world, from cooking food on a stove to heating buildings …

A burner management system (BMS) is a control system that is used to monitor and regulate the operation of burners in industrial processes such as Boilers, power plants, chemical plants, and oil refineries. The BMS is responsible for ensuring that the burners are operating safely and efficiently, and it can …

The boiler drum is where water and steam are separated. Maintaining the correct boiler drum level is critical for the safe operation of a boiler. A low water level may uncover the water tubes exposing them to heat stress and damage and a High level may carry over water droplets …

Any cylinder with fluid inside it subjected to the fluid pressure is called a Pressure Vessel. There are basically three groups of pressure vessels:  Fired Steam Boiler In which steam is generated by the application of heat resulting from the combustion of fuel (solid, liquid or gaseous). Unfired Steam Boiler …

The objective of this article is to provide power plant personnel with a basic understanding of the major components of the combined cycle power plant and the role of each component to achieve optimum plant efficiency. There are many different types of power plants including thermal and hydraulic power plants. …

The function of steam trap: Steam traps are installed in steam lines to drain condensate from the lines without allowing the escape of steam. There are many designs of steam traps for high and low-pressure use. Steam Trap working In general, a steam trap consists of a valve and a …

What is boiler blowdown? Boiler blowdown means a certain volume of water is blown off through the blowdown valve and is automatically replaced by feed water to maintain the desired level of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the boiler water. Boiler feedwater usually contains a lot of dissolved and undissolved …

In almost any power, chemical, or mechanical system, heat must be transferred from one place to another or from one fluid to another. Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. A basic understanding of the mechanical components of a heat exchanger is important to understand …

Today we will discus about the role of Chemistry in a Power Plant Boiler and why it is important to maintain chemistry in the power plants. As we know much of the equipment is made of metals that are expected to have a long life in power stations with little or …

Large Boilers in power plants are fitted with soot blowers, which are tools to keep the outside surface of the tubes clean and free from material or ash that would have a detrimental effect on the heat transfer surface. The blowing fluid is generally steam and the frequency of operation …

Boiler preservation is required when boiler is out of service or in shutdown condition for a long period to protect boilers internal surface from corrosion and atmospheric oxygen. There are two types of boiler preservation methods each of them is used in specific conditions. Wet preservation of boiler Dry preservation …
