Abstract

The process of uncertified fuel combustion with a variable calorific value of gas at a petroleum refinery for generating steam is considered in the paper. The main purpose of the paper is to develop a mathematical model of three steam boilers, working for one steam pipe, for combustion of gas fuels of varying composition. Effective combustion of the uncertified fuel will allow reducing not only СО2 emissions to the environment, but also reducing the consumption of natural gas. In the proposed model, the incremental equations were considered to linearize them. The given mathematical model allows obtaining a predetermined steam rate for the gases under consideration. This model is applicable to gas fuel with a variable calorific value in a petroleum refinery. The next step for solving the problem is to automate the process of boiler control.
