Fuels: State of the Art in Industrial Utilization.

Abstract

This study reviews the state of the art of industrial-scale boiler fuel use for supervisory personnel. Fuels considered were coal, petroleum fuel oil, and refuse. The sections on coal and oil deal with the basics of selection, equipment and technology for handling and storage, and equipment and technology of combustion. In addition, coal gasification processes are discussed. The section on refuse discusses the technology of converting refuse to energy (CRE). It describes in detail current major package CRE systems and considerations for co-firing refuse in boilers currently designed for firing coal. (Author)
