Read MoreIntroduction. A boiler is a device that converts the chemical energy of a fuel into a useful heat output, such as. steam or hot water. Boilers are used to supply steam or hot water for heating, processing, or power purposes. Many fossil and nonfossil fuels are fired in boilers, but the most common types of fuel include coal, oil, and natural gas.
Read More23/12/2019 · A boiler is an engineering machine or device designed to generate steam. In particular, this steam is produced through a constant pressure heat transfer, in which the fluid, initially in a liquid state, is heated and its phase changes. The main objective of an industrial

The term biomass encompasses a large variety of materials, including wood from various sources, agricultural residues, and animal and human waste. Biomass can be converted into electric power through several methods.
Read MoreAs for electric generation usage, natural gas can be used to generate electricity in a variety of ways. The most basic natural gas-fired electric generation consists of a steam generation unit, where natural gas is burned in a boiler to heat water and produce steam, which then turns a turbine to generate electricity.
