Boilers and Ancillary Plant reflects the cumulation of experience
gained in the design, manufacture and operation of large coal- and oil-fired
boilers in the last 20 years. The introduction of 500 MW boilers was not without its problems and this led to the analysis of boiler plant in all its aspects - combustion, furnace heat transfer, the design of superheaters and
reheaters operating in the creep range, boiler tube corrosion and its interaction with creep life, the control of slagging and fouling and the maintenance of boiler efficiency. This volume thus presents a review of modern practice in the design and operation of large boiler plant covering all aspects including the characteristics and selection of major auxiliaries and the control of gaseous and particulate emissions.
