Steam systems serve as the backbone of numerous industrial processes, providing the essential thermal energy required for a wide range of applications across various sectors. From powering machinery ...

This month, I will continue to discuss the forgotten skills of steam system design. Last month, I touched on several topics, including high- and low-pressure steam, boilers, deaerators, boiler feed ...

If engineered well and drained properly, a simple finned-tube heat exchanger can help maximize a fossil-fueled power plant’s combustion efficiency, capacity, and air pollution reduction. Use the ...

Careful consideration must be given to choosing a condensate polishing system along with the right resins for specific operating conditions. Many utility and industrial power generating systems rely ...

Earlier in this series, I wrote about modern techniques to minimize impurity ingress, scaling, and corrosion in heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). But without accurate sampling and good data ...
