Several factors that affect the use of fuel in boilers are combustion efficiency, quality of feed water management, calorific value, and the potential for available fuel from oil palm varieties. The purpose of this research is to identify the use of fuel and its potential savings based on variations in boiler efficiency and water temperature that entered the boiler. The materials used in this research are FFB mass balance data and boiler fuel composition. Based on the analysis results, the lowest used fuel mass and the highest fuel savings are found in the DxPLangkat variety with an intake water temperature of 105o C and 80% boiler efficiency. The use of fuel is 4,231 kg/hour with shell savings of 967 kg/hour with a value of IDR 725,701. Fiber savings was 487 kg/hour with a value of IDR 121,751.The highest used fuel mass and the lowest fuel savings were found in the Yangambi derivative variety with an intake water temperature of 85o C and 60% boiler efficiency.The fuel consumption is 5,830 kg/hour with shell savings totalling -380 kg/hour. There is no fiber analysis because it is used up hence additional fuel is needed. Additional fuel can be done by asking for other palm oil mill units or buying. If they buy a shell with a requirement of 380 kg/hour, the funds required are IDR 284,939.

In palm oil processing companies to become oil, the boiling process is carried out to make it easier for the loose fruit to come from the bunches, to stop the development of free fatty acids and will cause the tbs to soften so the oil extraction process becomes easier. The boiling process requires steam from steam. Steam is obtained by heating a vessel filled with water with fuel. Generally, boilers use liquid, gas and solid fuels. Steam functions as a boiling and electric generator, the company uses a boiler as a steam producer to support the production process. A boiler or steam boiler is a closed vessel used to produce steam through an energy conversion process. To find out the boiler efficiency, a calculation is carried out by taking the parameters needed for boiler operation, from the analysis the highest boiler efficiency results are 83.56% and the lowest is 75.25%, where the heating value with 13% fuel at 1000 Kw load is 83, 56%. And the calorific value with 10% fuel at a load of 750 Kw is smaller with a value of 75.25%.

Efficient Combustion

Air pre-heater and economizer are heat transfer surfaces in which air temperature and water temperature are raised by transferring heat from other media such as flue gas. Hot air is necessary for rapid combustion in the furnace and also for drying coal in milling plants. So an essential boiler accessory which serves this purpose is air pre-heater. The air pre-heater is not essential for operation of steam generator, but they are used where a study of cost indicates that money can be saved or efficient combustion can be obtained by their use. The decision for its adoption can be made when the financial advantages is weighed against the capital cost of heater. The efficiency of the boiler increases with the increase in the temperature of the combustion air used in the furnace. This is achieved by the increased temperature of the flue gas in the air preheater and economizer zone. This paper deals with the different ways to obtain the maximum heat from the flue gas travelling through the air preheater and the economizer zone to improve the boiler efficiency.

The thermo-acoustic behaviour of non-premixed turbulent syngas flames is investigated by means of transient RaNS Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. Three cases with two different fuel compositions are considered. Both fuels are combusted in a turbulent non-premixed swirl stabilised mode, and are mixtures of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and nitrogen. One fuel contains methane in addition. The flame transfer function considered here, describes the relation between a perturbation of the fuel mass flow rate and the rate of heat release in the flame. The fuel mass flow is perturbed by an impulse excitation. The investigated geometry is a laboratory scale burner that is designed in the framework of the European Union sponsored HEGSA project. Experimental data are generated in tests at DLR (chemiluminescence and LIF). The CFD results show that methane addition to syngas has a significant influence on the flame transfer function. The addition of methane to syngas induces thermoacoustic damping for higher frequency (¿400 Hz) regions and increases amplification for low frequencies (¡200 Hz). The time delay of the transfer function is affected by the addition of methane due to both calorific value and chemical time scale effects. A decrease in inlet temperature also affects the flame transfer function. This is due to the slower chemistry and lower velocity.

A small-scale Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) system was built to investigate its water distillation performance for varying inlet temperatures and flow rates of feed and permeate streams, and salinity. A counterflow configuration between the feed and permeate streams was used to achieve an efficient heat exchange. A two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed and validated using the experimental results. The numerical results were compared with the experiments and found to be in good agreement. From this study, the most desirable conditions for distilled water production were found to be a higher feed water temperature, lower permeate temperature, higher flow rate and less salinity. The feed water temperature had a greater impact on the water production than the permeate water temperature. The numerical simulation showed that the water mass flux was maximum at the inlet of the feed stream where the feed temperature was the highest and rapidly decreased as the feed temperature decreased.

Air Gap Membrane Distillation

Abstract Two rectangular modules with a total interior membrane surface area of 13.53 m2 were consecutively combined to evaluate the use of heat recovery in an air-gap membrane distillation (AGMD) system. Several operating inlet parameters including feed water temperature, mass water flow rate and salinity were investigated. The experimental results revealed that the performance of the system was improved by virtue of efficient heat recovery resulting from combining two AGMD membrane modules in series. Under optimal inlet operating parameters of cooling water temperature of 20 °C, salinity of 0.05% and flow rate of 3 l/min, the system productivity (Pp) increased up to 192.9%, 179.3%, 176.5% and 179.2%, and the thermal efficiency (ηth) by 261.5%, 232.6%, 239.4% and 227.3% at feed water temperatures of 45 °C, 55 °C, 65 °C and 75 °C, respectively. Concurrently, the specific waste heat input (Ew.h.i) decreased by 6.7%, 4.7%, 5.6% and 2.7% due to the efficient heat recovery. The results confirmed that heat recovery is an important factor affecting the AGMD system that could be improved by designing one of the two AGMD modules with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow fibers with a flow length shorter than the other one having a salt rejection rate of 99%.

Malaysia has about 4.2 million hectares of oil palm plantation. The palm oil milling industry has over 400 mills throughout the country with total milling capacity of 82 million tonnes fresh fruit bunches, FFB, per year. In 2003, the amount of FFB processed was 67 million tonnes, which generated solid wastes in the forms of empty fruit bunches, EFB (19.43 million tonnes), mesocarp fibres (12.07 million tonnes) and palm kernel shell (4.89 million tonnes). These wastes has moisture content of 60–70% for EFB and mesocarp fibre, and 34–40% for palm kernel shell, and calorific value of 5.0 – 18.0 Mj/kg. A processing technology was developed to process these low quality biomass fuels into high quality solid biofuel briquettes with moisture content in the range 8–12%. Depending on the formulations and the sources of the raw biomass, the final solid biofuel briquettes can have calorific values in the range of 18–25 Mj/kg. The production of the solid biofuel briquettes would be an attractive financial advantage for full exploitation of biomass fuels. Logistic problems due to the disperse nature of the biomass resources would significantly be addressed.

ABSTRACT Aquaculture production has notably increased in the last decades, mainly thanks to intensive farming. Together with market globalization, this gives rise to the spreading of several fish diseases, thus increasing the demand for veterinary drugs for aquatic species. Nonetheless, very few chemicals are registered for use in aquaculture, and fish farmers are often forced to resort to off-label use of drugs authorized for other food-producing animal species. Rainbow trout is the major farmed fish species in Italy and the second one in Europe. Erythromycin is the antibiotic of choice against gram-positive cocci, the major concern for trout farming, but it is not yet registered for aquaculture use in most European countries. The aim of this study was to follow the depletion of erythromycin in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), after its administration at 100 mg kg−1 trout body weight day−1 for 21 days through medicated feed (water temperature, 11.5°C). Erythromycin residues in fish muscle plus skin in natural proportion were determined by a validated liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method. Interpolation of our data, following European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products guidelines, gives a withdrawal time of 255°C-days (°C-day = water temperature × days), thus showing that the general value (500°C-day) recommended by the Council Directive (EEC) no. 82/2001 for off-label drug use in aquaculture would be too conservative in this case, with excessive costs for the farmers. Our study provides preliminary data for a more prudent use of erythromycin in rainbow trout, suggesting a possible withdrawal time after treatment.
