“…From the table above, the boiler efficiency increased by 2.43%. This is in line with previous studies which stated that optimizing the air-tofuel ratio along with the pre-mixing of air and fuel before entering the combustion chamber can increase boiler efficiency by 4%, resulting in significant energy savings, lower operating costs, and greenhouse gas emission reduction [1].…”

Viscose rayon is a natural fabric from regenerated cellulose derived from wood pulp, bamboo, or cotton linters. The viscose rayon industry relies on electricity to generate steam for textile production. This study aims to optimize the 45-ton-per-hour Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion (AFBC) boiler. Its efficiency is 78.16%, lower than the industry benchmark of 85.78%. Boiler efficiency decreases as the flue gas temperature increases, reaching 220 degrees Celsius, indicating suboptimal coal fuel utilization for water heating. The study explores two controllable variables: coal calorific value and combustion air mass flow rate for optimum efficiency. ANSYS Fluent 2021, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, is used for analysis. Boiler efficiency is calculated using the indirect method following ASME PTC 4.0. The research shows that adjusting the combustion air mass flow rate and coal calorific value increases efficiency to 81.04%.

“…Udara yang berlebih merupakan salah satu penyebab hilangnya energi pada boiler, karena dapat menurunkan suhu pembakaran, meningkatkan jumlah gas buang yang dihasilkan, dan memperbesar panas yang hilang. Oleh karena itu, optimalisasi udara berlebih dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan efisiensi boiler dan dapat menurunkan emisi gas buang (Ibrahim and Farrukh, 2019). Pada simulasi efek perbaikan konsentrasi oksigen dari 13% menjadi 8%, dihasilkan reduksi batubara dan penurunan emisi, masing-masing sebesar 5,0% dan 2.841 tCO 2 / tahun (Gambar 4).…”

Pertumbuhan industri yang pesat menyebabkan masalah emisi gas rumah kaca. Kegiatan co-benefit peningkatan efisiensi boiler batubara telah dilakukan di industri kertas dalam proyek “Co-benefit Indonesia Tahun 2018” dari Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup Jepang dengan tujuan melakukan identifikasi langkah-langkah yang terkait dengan konservasi energi dan penurunan polutan emisi boiler industri berbahan bakar batubara dan cara melakukannya. Identifikasi meliputi analisis efisiensi termal boiler, pengukuran kadar air batubara, pengukuran kualitas air umpan boiler, air blowdown, dan kondensat, pemeriksaan insulasi panas, pengaturan rasio udara pembakaran, dan pengendalian operasi multi boiler. Berbagai kehilangan panas dianalisis dan beberapa rekomendasi diberikan untuk implementasi di pabrik sehingga efisiensi boiler dapat ditingkatkan. Beberapa masalah yang perlu diperbaiki untuk konservasi energi meliputi penggunaan batubara dengan kadar air tinggi, rasio udara pembakaran tinggi, konduktivitas air umpan tinggi menyebabkan rasio blowdown tinggi, tidak dilakukan insulasi pada mesin produksi yang relatif tua, dan pengoperasian beberapa boiler dengan efisiensi rendah. Potensi perbaikan melalui penyesuaian kadar air batubara, perbaikan rasio udara pembakaran, optimalisasi rasio blowdown, pemulihan air kondensat, pemasangan insulasi, dan kontrol multi boiler secara teori menghasilkan reduksi konsumsi batubara 16.445 ton/tahun atau 48,63%, dan reduksi CO2 sebesar 19.589 tCO2/tahun dengan estimasi penghematan biaya Rp 12 milyar/tahun.

Co-benefit activities to improve the efficiency of coal boilers have been carried out in paper industry in the project of “Co-benefit Indonesia FY 2018” from the Japan Ministry of Environment aimed at identifying required steps to save energy and reduction of pollutant emission from the coal-fired industrial boilers and how to achieve it. Identification include analysis of boiler thermal efficiency, coal moisture content measurement, boiler feed water, blowdown water and condensate quality measurement, heat insulation examination, combustion air ratio management, and control of multiple boiler operations. Various heat losses have been analyzed and some recommendations have been proposed to be implemented by factory management to improve boiler efficiency. There are several issues that need to be addressed for energy conservation, namely: high water content coal utilization, high combustion air ratio, high conductivity feed water which causes high blowdown ratios, no insulation on relatively old production machines, and operational of several low efficiency boilers. The results of the co-benefit identification indicated that the potential for corrective action by adjusting the coal water content, improving the combustion air ratio, optimizing the blowdown ratio, recovering condensate water, installing insulation, and controlling multiple boilers theoretically can result coal consumption reduction of 16,445 tons/year or 48.63%, and CO2 reduction of 19,589 tCO2/year with an estimated cost savings of Rp 12 billion/year.

The combustion within the boiler burns fuel to create heat energy which then produces electrical power. The combustion of fuel is its reaction with oxygen available in the air. The amount of fuel that can be well burnt is limited by the quantity of oxygen. Once all the fuel is not burnt at all, some of it stays in the boiler and other quantity goes to the atmosphere. Most of the fuels used in the boiler are hydrocarbons which release hydrogen and carbon as residuals. It causes small efficiency and degradation of the air. It is needed to take the faction of air/fuel to the optimum value to reduce these problems. This paper provides different reviewed algorithms that control the combustion within the boiler and the role of environmental temperature. The author found that the separation of the oxygen from the air combined with the preheating both fuel and oxygen taking into account environmental temperature would provide better stoichiometric values, which improve the performance.
