Increasing the Environmental Efficiency of the Fleet of Boiler Plants in Modern Conditions

Mankind has created a multi-industry production. Its facilities have a harmful effect on the environment. And it resulted in a global environmental problem that has currently arisen. Among the branches of world production, energy is the most environmentally aggressive, and among its facilities the most aggressive are boiler plants. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of energy facilities on the state of natural environment and analyze the methods to reduce its intensity. Boiler plants are the most important element in modern power engineering. Hence, there is a need for a joint solution of the problem of reducing the harmful effect of boiler plants on the environment and the problem of their useful effect on global energy. The purpose of this research is to analyze methods to solve the problem of environmental interaction of boiler plants with the natural environment in modern conditions resorting to their partial renewal and using alternative energy sources in the future. It is necessary to broaden the requirements to the development of the world fleet of boiler plants that should be based on the use of innovative design, technological and operational solutions to provide reliable environmental efficiency of the equipment. Since domestic boiler plants have worked out a significant part of their service life and create greenhouse gas emissions and pollutant emissions into the atmosphere polluting thus water runoff and producing solid waste, it is advisable to continue to operate them in the mode of partial renewal. The partial renewal results in the reduction of the harmful effect of boiler plants on the environment due to the ecological improvement of the combustion process. Low-power worn-out boiler plants should be stopped and electricity should be supplied to consumers instead of steam. The problem of replacing obsolete boiler plants should be solved by using new energy sources of equivalent power, by creating and commissioning new highly efficient power plants that convert the energy of water, wind, geothermal sources, and solar energy. Understanding the important role of the global fleet of boiler plants in the global environmental situation on the part of international authorities has a positive effect on the state and development of energy and industry. The current involvement of our country in the war has complicated the processes that take place in the energy sector. The quality and reliability of the power plants have acquired particular importance. When using the domestic fleet of boiler plants, it is necessary to do our best to increase its environmental efficiency.
