Natural gas industrial boilers are being used
Thread Content
Our company plans to install a 40-ton/hour gas boiler (using natural gas as fuel). Are there any gas boilers currently in use? I’d like to exchange ideas
What issues need to be addressed regarding gas boilers? We can discuss it with each other.
Our unit has two Japanese boilers with a capacity of 3 t/h each, and natural gas is quite expensive to use. 95 m3 of natural gas is required to produce 1 ton of steam, (while other companies need 75 m3 of natural gas for the same amount of steam). I’m also puzzled as to why the energy consumption is so high. Working on energy-saving projects.
Last year, two 9 million kcal gas oil furnaces were just repaired
Many of our companies have installed 35T gas boilers; it seems there isn’t much that needs to be discussed in this area, as the principles, manufacturing processes, and operation are all much simpler compared to coal boilers
Using the waste heat from a boiler can save 20% energy
Your system is indeed quite inefficient. Is the boiler old? Have measures such as condensate recovery, air preheating, and feedwater preheating been implemented? If not, those should be considered. The boilers we use have an efficiency of around 75-80%
If you feel that too much energy is being consumed, you can conduct a test of the gas’s calorific value to determine whether there is a significant deviation from the standard value.
Please contact me; our company uses natural gas boilers for most of our operations, so feel free to send me a private message
