Basics of power boilers.(Process heating)(Power boilers can form N[O.sub.x] both from fuel and from temperature.)

Plant Engineering, January, 2005 by Schultz, Carl C.

KEY CONCEPTS

* Many industrial boilers can operate on both natural gas and fuel oil.

* When it comes to boilers and the EPA, size matters.

* Power boilers can form N[O.sub.x] both from fuel and from temperature.

**********

The unique features of power boiler systems are a direct result of their operating temperatures and pressures. For example, the pressure relief vent on a large, high-pressure steam boiler would not be terminated indoors as might be done on a smaller, water heating boiler. The uncontrolled release of steam is a danger to operating personnel.

Because of this danger, when two power boilers are connected to the same steam main, the steam connection from each boiler must be fitted with two stop...
