In this post, we build on Part 1 of How Hot Can you Go?, a discussion on feedwater temperatures entering the steam drum. Although hotter feedwater temperatures result in increased steam generation for the same fuel heat input, feedwater temperatures that are too close to the drum saturation temperature can lead to inadequate circulation conditions […]
Jansen has acquired the Redmond, Washington based Lundberg, LLC, formerly a division of LDX Solutions. Founded in 1976, Lundberg specializes in the design and supply of custom solutions including engineering, systems and equipment for the process industries to meet each client’s unique needs.

The amount of steam generated by a boiler is strongly dependent on two main attributes: the heat capture efficiency of the boiler’s convective sections, and the effectiveness of the furnace combustion system in achieving complete fuel burnout. But there’s more to the equation. Steam generation rates are also a function of the temperature of the

A growing trend for kraft paper mills is to use an existing power or recovery boiler for destroying noncondensable gas (NCG) and stripper off-gas (SOG.) This is a viable alternative to burning them in the lime kiln (where it can cause production problems) or in a dedicated incinerator. The effectiveness of NCG incineration requires satisfying
