Pneumatic furnace damper drives may be more common, but electro-hydraulic actuators provide several advantages to the more traditional control scheme. One fossil-fired plant in Taiwan achieved more ...

With environmental and economic constraints driving power plants towards cleaner and more efficient operations, it is imperative that the main process in a fossil-fueled boiler, combustion, should be ...

Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

A gas supply operation in North America commissioned three new steam boilers in a plant expansion project that included a Robinson forced draft (FD) fan on each boiler. During the boiler start-up in a ...

Variable conditions like coal quality, boiler cleanliness and equipment deterioration can affect a coal-fired power plant’s performance—and that’s where combustion optimization systems come in, to ...
