Economics of Energy Resources Lecture Notes
Philadelphia University –Jordan Electrical Engineering Department Economics of Energy Resources Lecture Notes Dr.Prof.Mohammed Tawfeeq Lazim Al-Zuhairi [email protected] 2008-2009 1 Economics of Energy Resources Dr.Mohammed Towfeeq Chapter One Economics of energy resources 1 1.1 Introduction Economics of energy resources studies energy resources and energy conversion as well as energy utilization. It includes: studies various types and sources of energy existing in the nature highlighting their features, advantages and disadvantages. The studies will emphasis on converting the available energy resources into electrical form of energy. Demand of energy is derived from preferences for energy services and depends on properties of conversion technologies and costs. Energy commodities are economic substitutes. The study also recognizes: 1) energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be converted among forms (the First Law of Thermodynamics); 2) energy comes from the physical environment and ultimately returns there (the law of conservation of energy). Economics of Energy Energy economics is the field that studies human utilization of energy resources and energy commodities and the consequences of that utilization. In physical science terminology, “energy” is the capacity for doing work, e.g., lifting, accelerating, or heating material. In economic terminology, “energy” includes all energy commodities and energy resources, commodities or resources that embody significant amounts of physical energy and thus offer the ability to perform work. Energy commodities - e.g., gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas, propane, coal, or electricity – can be used to provide energy services for human activities, such as lighting, space heating, water heating, cooking, motives power, electronic activity and electric power generation. -

BOILER WATER TREATMENT for KILN DRY OPERATIONS Mike Wieland Technical Presentation IMPORTANT TOPICS
BOILER WATER TREATMENT FOR KILN DRY OPERATIONS Mike Wieland Technical Presentation IMPORTANT TOPICS • PRETREATMENT • TEMPERATURE VS OXYGEN • FEED WATER / DA • BOILER WATER • CONDENSATE Boiler Water Pretreatment • Purpose - Statistically 75% of all boiler water problems manifested in the boiler have a root cause in the pretreatment system • Process - Walk through the processes, key factors, monitoring, and operational impacts of pretreatment systems • Payoff - Cleaner boilers, increased energy efficiency, reduced maintenance time and costs, increased plant production time and capacity Pretreatment Methods • Lime Softening • Ion Exchange Softening & Demineralization • Deaeration: Full Mechanical & Heaters Ion Exchange Technology Ion Exchange • Purpose of softening. What is it? Why do we do it? • How softening occurs • The regeneration cycle • Critical factors and troubleshooting • Areas of opportunity and operational enhancement Purpose of Softening. What is it? Why do we do it? • Well and surface water naturally contains calcium and magnesium - referred to as hardness as well as other iron and manganese that are removed in softening. Examples: Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ba, Al • These ions adversely impact water and process systems by leading to scaling, corrosion and/or contamination. $ Removing them improves heat transfer, increases equipment life, and lowers overall operating costs. • This process is known as Softening. Hardness can even make a glass of water taste bad! How Does Ion Exchange Occur? Top Connection •Operating Inlet •Rinse/Regeneration -
NB-410, Boiler/Feedwater Guidelines
BOILER/FEEDWATER GUIDELINES TheNationalBoardofBoilerandPressureVesselInspectors 1055CrupperAvenue Columbus,Ohio43229 614.888.8320 NB-410, Revision 3 Sept, 2015 1 1.0 GENERAL The purpose of this document is to provide basic guidelines to the inservice boiler inspector for boiler/feedwater treatment and the recognition of normal/abnormal boiler/feedwater conditions for power boilers, steam heating boilers, and hot water heating boilers. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON WATER 2.1 Earth’s Hydrological Cycle 2.1.1 Water begins to evaporate as the sun heats up a body of water. This evaporated water gathers in the atmosphere and forms clouds. When the cloud water vapor cools sufficiently to condense, it begins to rain. 2.1.2 The rain is without impurities as it begins to fall. Because it is pure or content neutral (pH7), it is “hungry rain,” with a high affinity for oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The rain droplets absorb oxygen and carbon dioxide as they pass through the atmosphere. 2.1.2.1 Some sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels, vegetation fermentation, and respiration. 2.1.2.2 This carbon dioxide contributes to making the rain acidic (acid rain) and is a major source of carbon dioxide found in the boiler’s condensate return and feedwater system. 2.1.3 As the rain enters the ground, the acidic condition helps the water dissolve limestone. The limestone and other dissolved and suspended solids are obsorbed in the water. 2.1.3.1 These underground minerals, found in feedwater, are a major source of boiler scale.
