cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. in this paper, the performance of thermal oil boiler...

Fouling and slagging are some difficulties for the development of biomass as energy potential and to achieve the targets of renewable energy sources utilization. The proper technique to analyze the influence of fouling in a biomass boiler is to monitorize the evolution of heat absorption in heat transfer equipment. Traditional equation-based monitoring techniques have problems to tackle with th...

In order to fully understand what a given boiler needs for treatment, a basic study of its supply water must be done first. Three types of impurities exist in all supplies and can cause a wide range of problems in boilers and kilns. These impurities are suspended solids, dissolved solids, and dissolved gasses. Water picks up the impurities from the ground it contacts and the air through which i...
