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 ...

Tests of a boiler combustion tuning system employing artificial intelligence (AI) at a Taiwanese coal-fired power unit verify improvements to fuel economy that could ultimately reduce costs by up to ...

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.

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 ...

What Is Flue Gas Analysis? The term "flue" refers to the long pipes that are used to discharge exhaust gases, and are commonly found as chimneys, ducts, or simple pipes. The gases ejected by flues ...

[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, ...
