Steam is very widely applied in the textile industry. It is commonly used in many subsectors and processes: manufacturing fabrics, manufacturing textile products…
We have briefly covered the fuel that is used for biomass heating already, but there are more details that will help you decide on which is best for you and your requirements. It is important to think about which biomass boiler fuel will work well for your home, as well as the logistics of sourcing your fuel on a regular basis. Let’s take a look at the main types of biomass fuel below:
Low-pressure boilers operate at a lower pressure and reach lower temperatures than high-pressure steam boilers. Water in low-pressure boilers is not heated beyond 250ºF, and the steam pressure does not exceed 15 psi (pounds per square inch).
A condensing boiler can condense the water vapour in the flue gases and withstand the corrosive and acidic qualities of the flue gas condensate. Although most boilers can condense the flue gasses, only boilers that have heat exchangers constructed from materials able to withstand the corrosion should be used in condensing application. Condensing boilers with primary and secondary heat exchanger do not work well as they are not able to fully condense and defeat the purpose of using a condensing boiler. Also, boilers with this arrangement are prone to condensation in the primary heat exchanger at lower firing rate which can cause damage to the heat exchanger.
From wood burning to pellet-firing biomass, alternative fuel boilers and solid fuel fired boilers offer environmentally friendly energy options and cost efficiencies. With the push to become less reliant on fossil fuels, alternative fuel boilers provide a way for plant managers to save money on fuel sources as well as meet tightening emission regulation standards.
If the impurities in the boiler feedwater are not dealt with properly, carryover of boiler water into the steam system can occur.
Carryover can be caused by two factors:
