Course description
In Boiler Fuels and Emissions , you'll learn ...
- The types and properties of fuels commonly fired in boilers to generate steam or hot water
- The atmospheric emissions associated with fuel combustion
- Factors that influence the transfer of energy content into usable heat
Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 27 pages
Fuel type and emissions control are two very important considerations in the design of a boiler. The type of fuel selected will not only impact emissions, but will also greatly influence the design of the boiler and the operating costs. And since air pollutants emitted from boilers are regulated in accordance with the Clean Air Act, control of emissions must also be considered in the design and operation of a boiler.
This course discusses the key properties and design considerations for each of the major boiler fuels available, including coal, natural gas, oil, wood, and municipal-type solid waste. It examines the major pollutants emitted from boilers and the most effective methods to control them. Finally, methods to increase boiler efficiency are briefly addressed.
