As limits on SO 2 emissions become tighter, many coal-fired utility power plants are adding new flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems or upgrading existing ones. The majority of these systems employ ...

Stacks at power generating stations are much more than tall towers used as a landmark for locating power plants. They are a necessary and essential piece of equipment needed to add buoyancy to the ...

The Flue Gas screen is a flue gas component screen showing the quantities of flue gas components exiting the stack. Quantities are given in both moles and mass per hour. PC and NGCC plants have the ...

[Editor’s Note: This is part two of the two-part series on combustion analysis.] Safety of the appliance should be the primary goal of all technicians. The production of carbon monoxide (CO) in the ...

•Temperature Out: Temperature of the flue gas exiting the stack. •Flue Gas Out: Volumetric flow rate of flue gas exiting the stack, based on the flue gas temperature exiting the stack and atmospheric ...

“That’s too much — no one else even mentioned we’d need an expensive liner — you trying to rip us off here?” Chimneys — you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them — or at least you ...

Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...
