4 Excellent And Genuine Ways Of Improving The Boiler Performance Efficiently



Believe it or not, one of the lazy ways for reducing your overall energy expenses is enhancing boiler performance. Yes, start maintaining and evaluating the boiler’s potential problems at the earliest.

The ultimate goal is ensuring your boilers are generating less emission of gases and the lowest temperature. As a result, your boilers will become more productive. One thing you should understand is that even if you’re investing in the most powerful boilers, they still lose valuable BTUs. 

Thus, whether you’re planning or renting boilers for your facility, you have to think about saving the operation and maintenance costs. So without further ado, we’re mentioning some tips for enhancing the boiler's performance and lowering your energy bills. 

Replacing The Old Boiler Burners

Over time, the quality of boiler burners starts degrading and loses its properties. Thus, you need to invest your money in brand new boiler burners. Regardless of your boiler type and which fuel is required, many burner options are available in the market. Well, boiler burners are quite expensive, and you might be looking for an affordable option. In that case, you can also consider retrofits instead of boiler burners. 

Insulating The Boilers

Whenever you’re doing the boiler failure analysis, you’ll be asked to insulate the boilers. The reason for insulating these boilers is to minimize the loss of heat. As industrial boilers are bigger in size, their surface areas are prone to significant heat loss (if the insulation is not done).

The insulation of these boilers is done using the refractory material, which is covered on the surface areas. Nevertheless, before you’re insulating your boilers, check out how much additional weight they can support. 

Decreasing The Air Infiltration

Air infiltration occurring in the industrial boilers can impact the furnace negatively. This air infiltration can cause a thermal head. The biggest problem with the boilers is the air leaks from any components, and you can’t even find them easily.

Air leaks can happen when insulating is not done near the ductwork and casing opening. Subsequently, when you find that your boilers have some leaks, the best thing is to analyze the surface areas. Once you detect the area where air infiltration is happening, you can start with the repair part. 

Using The Condensate Return Systems

Boiler condensate is nothing but hot water that you require daily for running your boilers. If you’re not changing your boiler condensate from time to time, you’re wasting valuable energy. The condensate return systems allow you to regain the valuable heat and water you’re losing.

Nevertheless, ensure you’re investing in the condensate return system that suits your boiler's model. In our opinion, you should invest in modern boilers equipped with condensate return systems. 

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, boiler safety and inspection are some of the best ways to keep your industrial boilers running productively. When you implement the tips mentioned above, they will undoubtedly make a significant difference in your boilers’ daily functioning.

What are Bi-Drum Boilers? How Do They Work?

Image
Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...

How Do Electrostatic Precipitators Work?

Image
Reducing air pollutants is vital for human health and the health of the environment. Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Pollutants also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility. Industries are largely responsible for causing pollution. They are also the ones who have access to a number of pollution control devices that absorb, filter, dilute, and disperse pollutants. One such device for pollution control is the electrostatic precipitator. This device works by removing particles and smoke from a gas stream using an electrostatic charge. Dust particles travel past wires that have a high direct current (DC) voltage applied, which ionises the surrounding gas. This corona discharge causes the particles to pick up a small electrostatic charge, without impeding the gas flow. Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used a...

Quick overview of the Import & Export of Chemicals in India

Image
The chemical industry in India offers building blocks and essential raw materials for numerous industries such as paints, paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, soap, and detergents, etc. Let’s go through a few statistics of the chemical industry: The chemical industry in India is ranked 4th in Asia and 6th in the world. The global chemical industry is expected to be worth $4.7 trillion. The chemical companies in India contributes 3.4% to the global chemical industry. As of 2018, the chemical industry (including pharmaceuticals and fertilizers) stood at $163 billion. The Chemical sector in India is expected to grow at 9% per annum to reach $304 Bn by FY 2025. The expansion is anticipated to be pushed by rising demand in end-use segments for Specialty Chemicals and also for petrochemical intermediates. In 2015-16, the Chemical and Chemical Products sector accounted for 2.39percent of the GVA, compared to 2.23percent in 2014-15.18 Note: With India possessing a l...
