“ (FBC) Fluidized bed combustion is a combustion technology used to burn solid fuels in steam boilers.” In Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler technology When air or gas is passed through an inert bed of solid particles such as sand supported on a fine mesh or grid, the air initially will seek a path of least resistance and pass …

In the water tube boiler the upper drum (Boiler steam drum) provides for separation of steam from water. It also provides liquid holdup capacity (typically 10 to 60 seconds) to allow for a dynamic response to load changes without losing liquid in the downcomer and riser tubes. The size of the …

Pressure vessels and Boiler Inspection are done to determine the amount of maintenance required to have equipment operate properly until the next turnaround. A comprehensive equipment history must be maintained that includes conditions found during inspection and testing, maintenance work done, changes made, and date of each. ASME Code Standards …

Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water for steam generation. Steam produced can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilization, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for these applications is different, so …

Boiler Water Treatment is necessary to Producing quality steam on demand depends on properly managed water treatment to control steam purity, deposits and corrosion. There are two main types of boiler feed water treatment Internal boiler Water Treatment method and external boiler water treatment. A boiler is the sump of …

Stoker Fired Boiler are classified according to the method of feeding fuel to the furnace and by the type of grate. The main types of stokers are: Chain-grate or travelling-grate stoker Spreader stoker boiler Travelling Grate or chain grate Stoker Boiler In Travelling Grate  boiler coal is fed at one …

A vertical boiler is a type of steam boiler that is designed with a vertical cylinder shape. Vertical boilers are often used in small- to medium-sized facilities, such as schools, hospitals, and small industrial plants, where space is at a premium. This is the simplest type of a fire tube boiler. …

The packaged boiler is so called because it comes as a complete factory-assembled Package with all mountings,  accessories and control instrumentation are installed on it. Once it delivered to site, boiler requires only the steam, feed water pipe line. fuel supply connections and electrical connections to be made for package …

Electrostatic precipitators have a very high collection …

This Steam Blowing procedure is intended to provide general application guidance and establish controls during Steam Blowing of piping and equipment. The purpose of steam blowing, prior to start-up of a new unit, is to remove any foreign material in the superheater and steam piping after the erection completion. Considerable …

We will discuss important steps involved in Boiler gas tightness test procedure. -Close all the dampers in the grate hopper of the boiler. -Run the FD fan and open all the dampers excluding the dampers in the grate hopper. Keep air pressure and running time as approved by design. Detect …

Boiler Refractory dry out is to ensure proper drying, curing of refractory applied on furnace and other components. The refractory usually undergoes considerable chemical changes, during initial heating. Controlled heating, through these reactions ensures maximum strength. While heating, there must be free air flow over the system to ensure removal …
