Abstract

The auxiliary boiler system 10B8001 is designed to supply and maintain the steam balance for Phu My Fertilizer Plant. Based on actual operating data, the boiler operates at very high temperature and heat capacity, consumes a lot of fuel gas and there is a higher level of energy loss than other thermal equipment in Phu My Fertilizer Plant.

The authors review the current status of the boiler’s operation, calculate the thermal efficiency, analyse the relationship of boiler operating conditions to energy loss, and propose optimal solutions related to calibration, optimisation of operating parametersas well as the improvement and upgrading of equipment systems. These optimal solutions will reduce the operating costs and improve the performance of the boiler in particular and Phu My Fertilizer Plant in general.
