Boiler Tuning and Optimization

All boilers must be properly tuned in order to operate safely and at optimum performance. Any combustion system, whether burning gas, oil, coal, wood or any other fuel, requires a certain fuel/air ratio for each boiler load point. It is important to understand how the different operating parameters interact in order to properly tune a boiler. Tuning of the drum level control loop requires special knowledge and experience.

I have tuned numerous boilers and combustion system for maximum efficiency, while at the same time ensuring that the system operates safely across its full load range.
