FOREWORD: (a) This Code was prepared by the Special Committee on the Standardization of Oil Field Boilers, appointed by the Board of Directors of the American Petroleum Institute (b) This Committee has adopted complete specifications on Locomotive Type Boilers (A.P.I. Stds. No.2). The...
FOREWORD This digest of State Boiler and Pressure Vessel Rules and Regulations is published to provide information to assist the refining and chemical process industries operating in the United States and Puerto Rico. The digest was compiled under the direction of the Ad Hoc Steering...
Introduction Boilers are a key power source for electrical generation in the United States and around the world and for providing heat in process industries and buildings. Regardless of the capacity or fuel, there are certain fundamental control systems required for boiler control....
INTRODUCTION The effectiveness of flame modifications in reducing NOx emissions from package boilers is presently being investigated in a three-phase program. During Phase I, a versatile oil-fired facility was designed and constructed to serve as an experimental arena for investigating...
This book was written specifically for boiler plan operators and supervisors who want to learn how to lower plant operating costs, as well as how to operate plants of all types and sizes more wisely. It is newly revised with guidelines for HRSGs, combined cycle systems, and environmental...
1.1 These requirements apply to oil-fired boiler assemblies. 1.2 Requirements for the installation and use of oil-burning equipment are included in the Standard of the National Fire Protection Association for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31. 1.3 Deleted
In 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated new ambient air standards for particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5). Source emissions data are needed to assess the contribution of petroleum industry combustion sources to ambient PM2.5...
Opportunities are identified for improving the net steam and power generation from a recovery boiler. These opportunities include factors both internal (steam generation and consumption) and external (liquor properties) to the recovery boiler operation. Savings estimates are based on...

This specification covers the requirements of light-oil fired, low pressure steam, vertical firetube boilers. The boilers covered by this specification shall be of the following sizes as specified (see 6.2): Sizes. Size 1 - Up to 320,000 British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr) (93,...
This specification covers boiler tube expanders of the self-feeding parallel rolling type for use in expanding carbon steel and alloy steel tubes in all types of boilers. Tube expanders shall be of the following types and classes, as specified (see 6.2): Type I - Plain expander Class...
Purpose This recommended practice (RP) provides guidelines that specifically apply to instrument, control and protective system installations for gas fired heaters in petroleum production, refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants. A gas fired general service heater defined in this practice...
General This specification covers minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, and shop testing of oil-field type oil and gas separators and/or oil-gas-water separators used in the production of oil and/or gas, and usually located but not limited to some point on the producing flowline between...
The purpose of this technical information paper is to itemize and illuminate boiler operating parameters that may provide information about a pressure part leak in the recovery boiler. Each item is accompanied by an explanation of how and why the parameter is indicative of a leak....
This recommended practice (RP) specifies requirements and gives recommendations for design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting considerations for industrial fired boilers used in refineries and chemical plants. It covers waterside control, combustion control, burner management...
Accurate chemical water treatment and skillful maintenance are key elements to attain optimal boiler operation. Boiler Water Treatment: Principles and Practice analyzes the fundamentals of the mechanical operation of boilers, together with the applied chemistry required to...
