The article provides a brief analysis of the internal diameter and capacity vertical gravity separator. process separation should be understood as separating solid, liquid vapor phases in stream. Devices which solid are separated from gas called separators. Separators used condensate mines divided into classes according to their different qualities. following types (classes) purpose: a) working...

This paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for performing structural and parameter optimization of utility plants that satisfy given electrical, mechanical and heating demands of industrial processes. In this model a nonlinear objective function that accounts for the cost of equipment and operation is minimized. The proposed approach allows for the simultaneous opti...

Black liquor is a big energy source and a crucial component for the economy of the pulp and paper industry. Black liquor is conventionally burned in the Tomlinson recovery boiler. However, black liquor gasification combined cycle (BLGCC) has some advantages over the conventional technology, like superior energy efficiency, that makes this technology suitable to replace the traditional boiler. L...

At industrial enterprises built in the former USSR, capacity of installed boiler equipment was determined based on projected growth heat loads. Due to decline production enterprises, consumption thermal energy is also reduced, and there a problem prolonged operation steam hot water boilers at minimum The operational personnel different solve this practice their own way, without being aware poss...

This Steam System Survey Guide provides technical information for steam system operational personnel and plant energy managers on some of the major opportunities available to improve the energy efficiency and productivity of industrial steam systems. The guide covers five main areas of investigation: (1) profiling a steam system, (2) identifying steam properties for the steam system, (3) improv...
