Boiler Optimizer steam efficiency and fuel optimizer

Welcome to your

Version 2.0 Boiler Efficiency Diagnostic & Fuel Cost Reduction Program You can reduce your fuel costs and CO2 emissions if you use this program!

A unique PC computer program designed to meet the real needs of operating steam plant engineers that will assist you to:
maximize your steam efficiency & minimize your fuel costs and greenhouse emissions.

Using the steam produced divided by the fuel used in a day is totally inadequate to fine tune today's boilers. Boiler efficiency changes with load and with air control and you must know the boiler efficiency curve for every boiler in order to minimize your fuel costs and reduce your CO2 emissions to meet your corporate Kyoto Accord targets.

You have no control over today's high fuel costs, and probably have little control over the steam production required so your only control over your fuel budget is to maximize boiler efficiency and to allocate load distribution to minimize costs. This step by step program will guide you to better performance and provide detailed statistics for your management reports.

This program was initially developed to assist professional energy consultants to test on line steam boilers and develop a plan to improve results. Now you can do the same using your own computer just by entering the information you probably have at hand; steam rate, fuel rate, some temperatures and stack gas information.

Energy Management on a disk will provide you with detailed performance information that you might have required an outside consultant to generate for you in the past. Go to the next management meeting with up-to-date cost and current emission information.

If you can't measure it -You can't improve it!

boilerOptimizer
Your Boiler Diagnostics Tool, Version 2.0

This PC based computer program is designed to evaluate and diagnose one or more on-line Power Boiler(s). It will give you a detailed summary of performance & cost data while identifying and correcting for measurement problems.

Here's a surprise for you!! Boiler Effiicency is not really that important!!
It is a means to an end and the end is REDUCING FUEL COSTS.

All other efficiency programs ASSUME all measured values are accurate!. boilerOptimizer does not!

The program will ask you to input real time data and will simultaneously calculate the apparent efficiency using the mass balance Input/Output and the Loss methods. Of course you know that these two methods almost never agree. The reason is that there is always some data that is doubtful because instruments are never dead accurate. How do you resolve this? Since there is only one REAL efficiency, this program will use the differences in the two methods and other redundancies to systematically help in identifying measurement errors and make corrections until the MOST PROBABLE EFFICIENCY is displayed.

With your guidance and experience of the system, the program will identify instrumentation problems and/or measurement problems such as air leakage due to fan imbalance.

Using statistical methods, a mathematical model of this boiler will be created and this will allow"What If" predictions of the effect of changing conditions and will allow tracking the performance of the system over time by adjusting back to STANDARD CONDITIONS"

A database of information will accumulate that can be so sensitive that usually, the difference in performance between supposedly identical, side-by-side boilers will be demonstrated. In some cases even the difference in operating procedures between individual shifts can be identified.

Budget and cost performance information will be generated for the boilers under study allowing an optimization strategy to be implemented through load shifting or fuel mixes.

This program is intended to supplement your existing computer programs, not replace them!

That said! If you need and want an experienced energy audit consultant to come to your site, to use and train in the use of any or all of these programs, we can do that for you also!
