Σύνοψη

Today boilers are widely used in industry for the production of stream for numerous
purposes. Boilers are simply one kind of heat exchangers that bum oil. to produce the
work needed to transform the water into steam. The combustion of oil i.e. the oil being
mixed with air and ignited leads to air pollution if for many reasons the boiler doesn't
work smoothly. To have smooth operation of the boiler, in one hand all its parts have to
work properly and on the other hand the quality of oil has to be good to lead to good
combustion with the best air to fuel ratio. Air pollution resulting from the emissions
has harmful results on the environment and therefore on humans.
In order to improve combustion and minimize emissions companies have developed a
wide range of catalysts which are added to the fuel being burned in the burner. These
additives have the function of improving the efficiency of boilers and reducing
emissions at the same time, without taking any active part in the reaction.
So the final step that will give a complete view of what these additives do is to test
them on a boiler. By examining these additives some conclusions can be drawn
concerning the usefulness of these additives.
