Industrial boilers in Sri Lanka are essential to fulfilling energy requirements in production processes in many industries. However, burning fuels to get needed energy for boiler operations has become a problem for the environment. Many different solid, liquid and gaseous fuels are used in industrial boilers to generate enough heat to produce steam or hot …

Implementation of alternative fuel sources to reduce air pollution in industrial boilersRead More

The boiler is one of the most energy-consuming applications in industries. In Sri Lanka, several biomass sources can be used as alternative renewable fuels for the boiler. Various industries use biomass boilers. Biomass boilers also emit some air pollutants, which should be minimized. Also, deforestation to meet the biomass demand is another problem. Using suitable …
