INDUSTRIAL BOILERS: Principles, Design, and Operation

Have you ever received the midnight call every plant manager dreads? Boiler failure. Production stopped. Costs mounting by the hour. This comprehensive guide ensures you're prepared for any boiler emergency-and better yet, how to prevent them entirely. Written by a practicing engineer with 10+ years commissioning power plants across India and Bangladesh, this book combines rigorous technical knowledge with practical, real-world experience.
What You'll Learn:- ASME Code and Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) explained in practical terms- Complete water treatment systems-from raw water to boiler-quality feedwater- Internal chemistry programs that prevent scale, corrosion, and tube failures- Step-by-step operation procedures for startup, normal operation, and emergency shutdown- Troubleshooting real failures with detailed case studies- Efficiency optimization techniques that pay for themselves in monthsComprehensive Reference Materials Include:- Complete saturated steam tables- Water chemistry targets by pressure range- Conversion factors for all common units- Fire-tube vs water-tube comparison tables- Daily, weekly, and monthly operator checklists- 40+ certification exam questions with detailed answersPerfect For:? Engineering Students preparing for mechanical or chemical engineering exams? Boiler Operators studying for First Class or Second Class Certification? Plant Engineers managing boiler operations, maintenance, and compliance? Water Treatment Specialists designing and operating pretreatment systemsBased on Real Experience:Every lesson in this book comes from actual plant operations-the 2 AM emergency calls, the chemistry problems that showed symptoms before they caused failures, the simple mistakes that led to expensive consequences.
You'll learn from real incidents in chemical plants, power stations, pharmaceutical facilities, and process industries across India and Bangladesh. Dual Regional Coverage:Unlike books that cover only ASME or only IBR, this guide thoroughly addresses both international standards and Indian statutory regulations-because if you operate in India, you need both. All examples use Indian costs (in rupees), reference regional manufacturers (Thermax, Forbes Marshall, Triveni), and address challenges specific to our industries: monsoon water quality variations, regional fuel availability, and local regulatory compliance.
What Makes This Book Different:? Real chemistry explained practically (not just theory)? Complete reference tables (not "see other books")? Authentic case studies from actual operations? Both design standards (ASME) and operational regulations (IBR)? Written for Indian/South Asian conditions and challengesThis isn't just another boiler textbook. It's the guide you'll keep on your desk for daily reference, the book you'll consult at 2 AM when something goes wrong, and the resource that might save your plant from a costly failure.150+ pages of professional content.
