Plant operators have used combustion flue gas analysis for decades as a method of optimizing boiler combustion fuel/air ratios. By measuring the amount of excess oxygen and/or carbon monoxide (CO) in ...

While peak efficiency and ensuring system components are installed and working properly, safety is the primary reason to conduct combustion analysis. The phrase is a term for assessing a gas appliance ...

You might remember the days when a boiler tune-up mostly meant adjusting the flame. The flame was supposed to be solid blue with the tips slightly rounded. If the flame was soft, wavy and contained ...

Combustion in boilers and furnaces remains a pivotal area of research, central to optimising energy efficiency and minimising pollutant emissions in industrial and power generation applications.

Industrial plants need steam for heating and other processes. Boilers are commonly used to provide this steam, and you may be called on to operate the boilers in your plant. The first step toward the ...

The thermal utilization of sustainable fuels and the recovery of waste heat play a central role in today’s energy generation ...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to propose tough new standards that require all new coal-fired electricity plants to cut carbon, NOx and other emissions by significant amounts.

[Editor’s Note: This is the first of a two-part series taking a look at combustion analysis.] In general when performing a combustion analysis, the service tech needs to look at three things: safety, ...
