Combustion Optimization: The Give and Take Between CO and NOx

For most boilers worldwide, environmental permitting agencies mandate that carbon monoxide (CO) emissions must be maintained below a prescribed limit. But boiler operators shouldn’t monitor CO just for environmental reasons; CO is also a measure of the effectiveness of the combustion process. From a thermodynamics standpoint, the energy released from CO generation is only a […]

Superheaters – Analyze First. Then Design for Success.

A result of poor superheater design (Photo1). Superheaters in power generating boilers play a critical role in sustaining maximized power generation and overall boiler performance. Superheater design not only impacts the final steam temperature but also the expected steam drum pressure, the potential for elevated tube temperatures, corrosion and erosion resistance, and the superheater’s ability
