Hi everybody

I would like to know the best available practise for Controlling combustion in a Bagasse (stoker) fired boiler in a Cogen Plant.
As such we are not able to tune our controls due to wide fluctuations in Fuel Quality affecting Air/Fuel ratio. Any relevant info in this regard is most welcome TIA

Have you tried S. Dukelow "Control of Boilers"? I think you can buy it at the ISA website: http://www.isa.org

I suggest you stop thinking of controling air/fuel ratio and use an energy balance approach using a combustion index like the air/steam ratio. Take a look at how coal-fired or bark-fired boilers are controlled.

regards,

Romulo

Mr. Kuberan,

I was curious if you had tried the air/steam approach and your experience in doing so.
