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 ...

Many years ago, someone — I honestly have forgotten who — told me: “Thermodynamics isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law.” Anytime you conjure up a new idea about how a heating or cooling system might ...

The presence of unburned fuel in a power plant’s ash indicates an inefficient combustion process, as some of the energy in the fuel is being wasted. Unburned fuel also poses a risk to safety; if ...

Recovering heat and water from flue gas can reduce water usage and boost power plant performance. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has tested a promising technology that condenses water and ...

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 ...

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions are regulated not only because they are highly reactive gases, but also due to the fact they react with VOC and Sunlight to form ground level ozone and smog. The ...
