Abstract

The aim of this work is to assess the coal-fired boiler along with the combination of the energetic, environment and economic point of view at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of load boiler. The capacity of coal-fired boiler is 16 Ton/h, 8 bar (saturated vapor) with an economizer. The operation was conducted to collect and record data throughout the year. The results shown that energy in coal, energy in steam and energetic efficiency were increased with increase in load boiler. Eighty percentage of operating time (1 year), 50% and 75% in load boiler emitted the CO2 emission into the atmosphere by approximately 28,710.53 tCO2eq/y and the environmental cost value is 14,770,416.01 THB/y. Considering the operating boiler’s load throughout the year, the CO2 emission into the atmosphere and the environmental cost value were 35,007.23 tCO2eq/y and 18,009,819.40 THB/y, respectively.
