Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...

In the flue gas scrubbing process, water evaporates from the scrubbing fluid as the flue gas is cooled to the adiabatic saturation temperature. Under equilibrium conditions, water must be added to the ...

What Is Flue Gas Analysis? The term "flue" refers to the long pipes that are used to discharge exhaust gases, and are commonly found as chimneys, ducts, or simple pipes. The gases ejected by flues ...

A South American refinery's experience with a draft-limited fired heater emphasizes the pivotal role process engineers play in finding solutions to problems that occur in plant equipment. To be ...

Recovering heat and water from flue gas can reduce water usage and boost power plant performance. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has tested a promising technology that condenses water and ...

A newly developed general correlation accurately predicts acidic combustion gas dewpoints to mitigate corrosion potential in pollution control and energy-recovery equipment. The correlation can ...
