DESIGN, FABRICATION AND EXHAUST GASES ANALYSIS OF CORN COB FEEDING UNIT INSTALLED WITH STEAM BOILER

ABSTRACT

A sustainable approach towards energy production is the need of time due to the ongoing energy and food crisis. Due to increase in demand of energy the demand of fossil fuels will increase. The limited fossil fuels cannot meet the demand of the current energy produced. Many new technologies are being adopted by scientists. New developments in boiler technology have made the industries work well so they can move towards an economic and environment friendly approach. The boilers used in industries have a high operational cost and their harvesting/collection mechanism is difficult and time consuming. Using conventional fossil fuels there is a lot of risk of hazardous air pollution which causes skin and infectious diseases. The current study is on corn cob feeder reactor where the reactor will be efficiently design in a textile mill. The impact of this boiler on environment was analyzed towards a sustainable approach and the different air emissions were measured and they were compared with the emissions of conventional fossil fuels where a significant reduction in using corn cob was found as compared to the conventional fossil fuels.
