Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...

The agency did not assess the economic impacts of better health from reducing nitrogen oxide in setting the new standard, ...

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a draft white paper discussing control techniques and other measures that could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from combustion ...

Combined cycle plants give greater output for the same amount of energy and emissions. But this comes at a cost—increased complexity of design and operations. Optimizing a combined cycle plant ...

Natural gas electrical generation has increased significantly in recent years due to its cost advantage and reduced carbon footprint relative to coal. Many utilities are shifting to natural gas as a ...

Combustion noise represents a critical challenge in modern aero-engine and power generation design. It arises both from the rapid, unsteady heat release during combustion – known as direct noise – and ...

Technical tour attendees visited Progress Energy’s 1912-MW Hines Energy Complex located seven miles outside of Bartow, Fla. on Dec. 13. The complex has four combined cycle units fueled by gas and oil.

Small, ultra-fast, primary and “afterburner” secondary combustion events promise to deliver brake thermal efficiency as high as 69 percent. A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems ...
