Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...

Recovering heat and water from flue gas can reduce water usage and boost power plant performance. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has tested a promising technology that condenses water and ...

In the flue gas scrubbing process, water evaporates from the scrubbing fluid as the flue gas is cooled to the adiabatic saturation temperature. Under equilibrium conditions, water must be added to the ...

Chemical engineers have designed a material that can capture carbon dioxide from wet flue gasses better than current commercial materials. Generally speaking, "flue gas" refers to any gas coming out ...

The iron and steel industry has been an important source of atmospheric industrial emissions, and the soot emissions of the industry accounted for 29% of the total industrial particulate emissions 1.

Each week, I receive quite a few emails from readers of this column. I treasure each one because they provide a window to view the real problems and challenges you face with your homes. Some messages ...

This multiple-part article series will discuss the basics, codes and standards, and the science behind chimneys. It will show how back drafting affects chimney performance, while explaining the ...
