Introduction Digitalization, Artificial intelligence or machine leaning are buzzing word across several industries. Power of data has been realized in rcent times with the development in the data collection and analyzing facilities. Now industries are waiting for another change after industrialization period. Smart industry shall be the new norm for industries. Output of the industries …
Introduction : In Boiler, Water is evaporated to convert it into steam. During evaporation salts gets concentrated in the boiler drum. The salts in the boiler drum needs to be removed to operate boiler in safe and efficient condition. Based on the pressure condition of boiler drum or pressure rating of boiler, concentration of salt …
What is Thermocompressor ? Thermocompressor is a type of ejector used to convert low pressure to medium pressure steam with the use of high pressure steam. It mixes both low and high pressure steam to generate intermediate pressure thus making low pressure or flash steam useful for process. High pressure steam is used to create …
Coal fired boilers are major energy consuming equipment’s for process industry and care to be taken to improve performance of coal fired boiler. Boiler performance depends on various operation parameters and external factors. Listing various ways for energy efficient operation of coal fired boiler :- Coal quality : Properties of coal keeps on varying from …

Area of Improvement:Smoke tube boiler of 10TPH, operating at 17.5 barg was used for generating steam for process requirement. The fuel used for boiler operation was Natural gas. Observation:Boiler was in operation with conventional economizer. De-aerator with 105 Deg C of feed water was fed to economizer and flue gas of 250 Deg C enters …
In shell and tube heat exchanger, especially where the cooling media is cooling water, there is higher probability of fouling. Therefore periodic heat exchanger cleaning is required to improve the heat transfer of the heat exchanger. In general heat exchanger’s are cleaned either chemically or mechanically, both type of cleaning requires shutdown of the heat …
Area of Improvement: In a process plant 60% of condensate is recovered at approx 90 Deg C, remaining condensate was contaminated as it is being used in steam ejectors, direct heating in process and multi utility reactor therefore it was not recovered. Observation: 40% of feed water of approx 12 KL/hr was fed to deareator …
Area of Improvement: Approx 5 TPH of condensate at 2.5 barg pressure was collected and transferred to boiler for condensate and heat recovery with the use of PPPU “Pressurized powered pumping unit”. A flash vessel was installed to collect flash generated though condensate at .5barg pressure and was utilized for hot water generation. Observation: As …
What is heatpipe: Heatpipe is an effective heat transfer device which provides benefits of both thermal conductivity and phase transaction in a single heat exchanger. Howheat pipes are constructed: Heatpipe consist of evacuated pipe or tube, Working fluid and partition plate for heat transfer. as shown below What is working fluid and how heat transfer …
