The availability of biomass in India is about 120150 million MT per annum corresponding to potential of 16,000 MW. Multifuel fired biomass boiler design will enable latest technology up gradation in biomass and will have many advantages. This paper deals with technology analysis and multifuel fired biomass boiler design. Keywords-Biomass, Multi-fuel, biofuels, boiler, design

includes materials such as waste oil, solvents, and some boiler cleaning fluids which have a heating value. There is at least one boilcleaning product that has a positive heating value. During the boiler cleaning process, the fluid is collected in a temporary storage tank, after the cleaning process is completed it is reinjected into the boiler as essentially an additional heat input to the boi...

This paper deals with the state and unmeasured disturbance estimation within the nonlinear model predictive control of the superheated steam temperature in a once-trough boiler of a fossil fuelled power plant. The nonlinear model of the once-trough boiler has very high order, it is significantly nonlinear and load dependent. Model is excited by several disturbances, but not all of them are meas...

Major furnace explosions have resulted in the deaths of personnel, extremely expensive repair costs and, in most cases, loss of revenue during the repair period. For a large power station boiler the total cost of a furnace explosion could easily be in the $10M to $20M range. The protection systems fitted to a modern boiler have been developed to the stage where boiler explosions are a rare occu...

This paper describes a prototype instrumentation system for photogrammetric measuring of bed and ash layers, as well as for flying particle detection and pursuit using a single device (CCD) web camera. The system was designed to obtain images of the combustion process in the interior of a domestic boiler. It includes a cooling system, needed because of the high temperatures in the combustion ch...

This paper deals with piecewise affine (PWA) approximation of nonlinear systems. Its motivation is simple. If the controlled plant exhibits nonlinear behavior, linear controller based on linearized model may often be unable to achieve satisfactory performance. On the other hand, intrinsic complexity of the nonlinear controller based on full nonlinear model may prevent it from practical applicat...

The 491 U.S. coal-fired power plants are the largest unregulated industrial source of mercury emissions nationwide, annually emitting about 48 tons of mercury—a toxic element that poses health threats, including neurological disorders in children. In 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that mercury emissions from these sources should be regulated, but the agency has not s...

Aiming at multi-disturbance characteristic of drum water level system, control system uses three impulse cascade control strategy. This paper designs three impulse cascade control combined of incomplete differential PID and immune P control, fully using the advantages of artificial immune feedback control and incomplete differential PID. Boiler drum level simulation result shows the cascade con...

PI controllers are typically used in industry for boiler firing rate control for their simplicity and ease in tuning; this is the case with the utility boilers at Syncrude Canada’s northern Alberta plant. However, instability often occurs in cases of large (load) disturbances, primarily due to firing rate limit constraints. Using a Syncrude Canada’s utility boiler as an example, we attempt to r...

The use of boiler wood-fired is fairly common equipment utilized in steam generation for energy production in small industries. The boiler activities are considered dangerous and heavy, mainly due to risks of explosions and the lack of mechanization of the process. This study assessed the burden of physical labor that operators of boilers are subjected during the workday. Assessment of these co...
