Boiler design is generally reflected from both combustion flue gas and fluid flow conditions.
Combustion flue gas, compositions, which effects on heat transmission and others, are different depending on the composition of fuel.
Natural gas or LNG firing boiler is lessthermal efficient, however, can be designed with a few consideration on corrosion.
Natural gas contains no chemically bonded nitrogen, therfore, nitrogen oxide in flue gas can be reduced realively easily with two stage combustion and/or gas recirculation through burners.
Carolific value and other specification of gassified fuel are ranged variously, and resulted from gassification processes.
Lower calorific gas fuel firing boiler can be designed similarly as blast furnace gas firing boiler, and almost same design concept as natural gas is applied for higher calorific gas fuel.
Design consideration on naphtha firing is different from residual fuel oil, especially on fuel firing equipments and system.
Naphtha is burnt slowly as compared with residual fuel oil, and it results in lower nitrogen oxide in flue gas.
Various kinds of fuel described on the above can be burnt successfully with existing burners, multi spud gas burner, scroll type burner and steam atomizing oil burner.
