ABSTRACT: Inter-relationships of Combustion, Efficiency, Reliability & Air Pollution Control

When assessing the inter-relationships of combustion, efficiency, reliability and air pollution, the evaluation must be "holistic" and comprehensive in nature. The control of combustion and heat transfer with large steam generators is contingent upon how well you distribute the fuel, air and flue gas, while also managing the combustion byproducts.

Then, the performance and reliability of the air pollution control equipment is subject to the quality and volume of gas being treated. With that being said, the purpose of this presentation is to share experiences, observations and industry challenges.
