Este trabalho apresenta uma avaliação comparativa de desempenho termodinâmico de sistemas térmicos em uma unidade industrial de fabricação de celulose e papel Kraft. Foram coletados dados de projeto e operação para o sistema atual de utilidades e de um novo sistema em fase de implantação. A análise exergética é utilizada como ferramenta de avaliação quantitativa e qualitativa para os principais componentes do sistema de cogeração de energia: caldeiras de força, caldeiras de recuperação química, turbinas e válvulas redutoras. Diferentes critérios de desempenho globais e relativos são determinados através de balanços simultâneos de energia e entropia (balanços exergéticos). As irreversibilidades ou entropia gerada nos sistemas são determinadas através da exergia destruída. Esta abordagem revela os principais pontos onde a energia é degradada em sua qualidade, indicando onde devem ser buscadas alternativas de otimização termoeconômica para um melhor aproveitamento dos recursos energéticos disponíveis. / This work presents a comparative evaluation from thermodynamic performance view of thermal systems in a Kraft pulp and paper mill. The design information and the data of the industrial operation were collected for the current utility system and for the new system that has been buit. The exergy analysis is applied as the quantitative and qualitative evaluation tool for the main energy conversion systems: power boilers, chemical recovery boiler, turbines and throttling valves. Different global and relatives performance criteria are estimated by simultaneous energy and entropy balances (exergy balances). The irreversibility or generated entropy in the systems is determined by the destroyed exergy. This approach reveals the places where energy quality is mainly degraded and shows where alternatives for optimization must be sought for a better use of the available energetic resources.

Wood consists not only of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose but also of so called extractives which includes fats and acids and these components are separated in the mill from the black liquor. These extractives are in the mill denoted as tall oil soap. Tall oil has a large field of applications like chemicals and fuel and as it is produced to the atmosphere if it can replace oil and thus reduce the oil consumption. Tall oil soap is separated from the black liquor in a skimmer and the focus of this thesis was to examine the effect of air injection and the soap layer thickness on the soap separation efficiency in a skimmer. The work was focused on in analyzing the soap content of the inlet and outlet black liquor flow of the skimmer and to detect if an enhancement has been achieved with the two mentioned methods. The reason for the pulp mill to improve the soap separation efficiency was to decrease the risk of foaming and fouling in the evaporator but also to be able to increase the production of tall oil. The air injection gave a 41% improvement of the soap separation efficiency and further improvements are probably possible to achieve. The air injection flow was about 7 l air /m3 liquor in the black liquor feed. The airflow lowers the density of soap, creating a greater difference in density between soap and black liquor and this improves the separation efficiency. A thicker soap layer could increase the likelihood for soap drops to raise and reach the soap-liquor interface, because the soap drops have the tendency to bind with each other and will be separated from the liquor instead of following with the skimmed liquor outlet (fig. i.2). However, this study shows no indication of improvement with thicknesses that exceeds 0,75- 3,5 m which also endanger the skimmer due to overflow from the skimmer or create a short circuit between the in- and the outlet black liquor flow.

Modern chemical technology is an efficient tool for solving problems, particularly within the complex environment of the pulp and paper industry, and the combination of experimental studies, mill data and mass balance calculations are of fundamental importance to the development of the industry. In this study various examples are presented, whereby chemical technology is of fundamental importance. It is well documented that under normal conditions the molten salt mixture from the kraft recovery boiler flows down into the dissolving tank without problems. However, in the case of  alternatives to the kraft recovery boiler, knowledge of more precise data of the molten salts is required for the design calculations. In this study the viscosity for the case of sodium carbonate and 30 mole% sulphide has been measured and is of the magnitude 2 – 3 cP at temperatures relevant for a recovery boiler, i.e. similar to water at room temperature. The presence of non-process elements (NPE) in a typical pulp mill has been investigated. The main input is with regards to the wood, and anticipated problems include; deposits in evaporators, high dead-load in liquor streams, plugging of the upper part of the recovery boiler and decreasing efficiency in the causticization department. Efficient green liquor clarification is of the greatest importance as an efficient kidney for many NPE. Mill data and calculations show that the magnesium added in the oxygen delignification does not form a closed loop. Integration of a prehydrolysis kraft pulp mill producing dissolving pulp with a plant producing viscose textile fiber could be highly beneficial. The prehydrolysis liquor will contain both sugars and acetic acid. It is however not possible to fully replace the sulphuric acid of the viscose spinning bath with acetic acid of own production. The sulphuric chemicals from the viscose plant can be partly taken care of in the kraft recovery area as well as the viscose plant which can be supplied with alkali and sulphuric acid. Zinc-containing effluents from the viscose plant can be treated with green liquor to precipitate zinc sulphide. / Modern chemical technology is an extremely efficient tool for solving problems particularly in a complicated environment such as the pulp and paper industry.

Integration of a prehydrolysis kraft pulp mill producing dissolving pulp with a plant producing viscose textile fiber could be of significant interest, as the handling of both alkali and sulphuric compounds can be integrated. Problems will however arise as the capacity of the pulping line and the chemical recovery has to be adjusted.

Failure of carbon steel boiler tubes from waterside has been reported in the utility boilers and industrial boilers for a long time. In industrial boilers, most waterside tube cracks are found near heavy attachment welds on the outer surface and are typically blunt, with multiple bulbous features indicating a discontinuous growth. These types of tube failures are typically referred to as stress assisted corrosion (SAC). For recovery boilers in the pulp and paper industry, these failures are particularly important as any water leak inside the furnace can potentially lead to smelt-water explosion. Previous research shows that metal properties, environmental variables, and stress conditions are the major factors influencing SAC crack initiation and propagation in carbon steel boiler tubes. A significant volume of work has also been published to show that the use of carbon steel in high temperature water applications strongly depends upon the formation and stability of a protective magnetite oxide film on the waterside of boiler tubes. This present study is aimed at evaluating above stated variables individually and interactively to identify SAC crack initiation and crack propagation behavior in carbon steel boiler tubes. Other goal of this research is to understand the mechanism of bulbous SAC crack formation under industrial boiler operating conditions, thus to figure out a practical way to predict and prevent SAC type failures in the industrial boilers.

However the aim of this work is not training in Tracing the Boilers, but working some topics of boiler tracing in order to bring the student to see and better understand some basic concepts of geometry inherent to high school instruction, since in this way he will have the opportunity of a practical activity. We begin by presenting a brief history of geometry, delineating how it has being developed and crafted for thousands of years, and how the evolution of mathematics developed by great characters influenced the development and growth of societies as well as humanity as a whole, and further, how geometry is still crafted in society in general. In this work we examine how and to what extent a more technical classroom professionalizing activity can assist the needs of the curriculum of high school and even more, wondering whether the high school curriculum meets the needs of the contemporary challenges of the 21st. century society, which is increasingly characterized by intensive use of knowledge, either to work, socialize or exercise citizenship. The research methodology used was the Didactical Engineering, that guided us in the creation and use of a planned teaching sequence, in a group of students, for the teaching and learning of geometric concepts, drawn from the observation of the difficulty faced by students to understand these concepts. / Um curso de Qualificação Profissional Traçador de Caldeiraria tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento das capacidades de calcular, traçar, planificar peças, elaborar desenho técnico de modelagem de conjuntos e subconjuntos, porem o objetivo deste trabalho não é a formação em Traçagem de Caldeiraria, mas trabalhar alguns tópicos de traçagem de caldeiraria com o intuito de levar o aluno do ensino médio a enxergar e entender melhor alguns conceitos básicos de geometria do ensino médio, visto que desta forma ele terá a oportunidade de vivenciar uma atividade prática, dando assim maior significado ao seu aprendizado. Como introdução, é delineado um resumo da história da geometria, a forma com que ela vem sendo desenvolvida e trabalhada por milhares de anos, e como a evolução da matemática desenvolvida por grandes personagens influenciaram o desenvolvimento e crescimento de sociedades assim como da humanidade como um todo, e mais ainda, como a geometria ainda hoje é trabalhada na sociedade de forma geral. Neste trabalho procuramos analisar de que forma e até que ponto uma aula mais técnica e voltada para uma atividade profissionalizante pode auxiliar nas necessidades do currículo do Ensino Médio e mais ainda, se o currículo do Ensino Médio atende as necessidades dos desafios contemporâneos da sociedade do século XXI que cada vez mais é caracterizada pelo uso intensivo do conhecimento, seja para trabalhar, conviver ou exercer a cidadania.

Superheaters suffer large material loss during combustion of waste and biomass, causing a short life time for these expensive components. During combustion, corrosive ash particles are formed and erosion is caused by circulating bed material and sand particles, all contributing to the material loss. This study examines whether corrosion or erosion has the largest effect on this material loss by investigating two superheaters in loop seal during biomass and waste combustion of an 85 MW, Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler in Händelö. The samples were investigated by SEM/EDX and XRD with regard to material loss and corrosion products. The superheaters have different thermal conditions since the material temperature in the first superheater that the steam passes is lower than in the one that comes after. In this report, a model to determine the tube temperature in steam boiler superheaters is also described due to the fact that the local tube temperature is of great importance of condensation of corrosive gases such as KCl and NaCl. Material loss was significantly greater on the cooler superheater compared with the warmer. The material temperatures on the outside of the tubes, were calculated to be about 574 °C for the cooler superheater and about 617°C for the warmer superheater. Overall, all analyzes showed low levels of corrosive substances, although there was a certain corrosion tendency, which indicates that material loss of the superheaters is caused by corrosion-assisted erosion. Lower material temperature of the superheater resulted in a higher degree of condensation of corrosive species such as alkali chlorides, which might have accelerated the erosion. The conclusion is that the dominant mechanism of material loss on the superheaters is erosion.

Det finns ett stort behov av att minska energianvändningen i världen. Igenom att minska energibehovet så minskar den negativa miljöpåverkan. I en ständigt växande värld där det byggs i allt snabbare takt så ökar också energibehovet. Igenom att effektivisera befintliga byggnader kan energibehovet stagnera eller till och med minska trots utbyggnaden. Igenom att energieffektivisera så kan mer av den energi som används nyttjas istället för att den ska stå för onödiga förluster. Fortifikationsverket har en restaurangbyggnad de anser använder för mycket energi. Denna byggnad innehåller en restaurang som använder ett ångsystem för matproduktion, vilket gör byggnadens energisystem unikt. För att kunna minska byggnadens energianvändning kartläggs och analyseras den i denna rapport. Denna fallstudie genomförs med en litteraturstudie för att utveckla kunskaperna inom området. Sedan utförs mätningar i byggnaden som därefter analyseras och presenteras så att eventuella avvikelser och brister påpekas. Under arbetets gång upptäcktes att en säkring var felinstallerad för mätningen av elanvändningen till en av ångpannorna. Igenom att ha åtgärdat detta för att kunna fakturera rätt så spar Fortifikationsverket nästan 170 000 kr per år som den ångpannan går. Utöver detta så analyserades ångsystemet och uppskattningar gjordes för att kunna svara på om ånga är effektivare än el för matlagning. Det visar sig att ångsystemet kan vara effektivt om stor mängd mat tillagas. Med hänsyn till nätter, helger och de dagar då mindre mat tillagas så är el-utrustning effektivare eftersom att det helt stängs av när det inte används. Till skillnad från ångsystemet som måste täcka upp för förlusterna för att behålla temperatur och tryck, även när systemet inte används. Igenom att byta ut ångsystemet till motsvarande utrustning som drivs av el skulle det gå att spara 205 MWh/år, enligt uppskattningar. Ångsystemet står för 35% av byggnadens totala elanvändning och är den största posten för energianvändningen och är därför den del som fokuserats mest på. Utöver ångsystemet så analyserades övrig energianvändning för att kunna ge förslag på besparingar. Många av förslagen är grundade på vissa uppskattningar och antaganden vilket måste beaktas. Några konkreta exempel på besparingar som kan göras är att sänka inomhustemperaturen för att spara 50 MWh/år, installera tilläggsfönster för att spara upp till 140 MWh/år, installera effektivare kylaggregat – 200 MWh/år, installera bättre styrning till ventilationen – 110 MWh/år, installera bättre styrning till belysning – 40 MWh/år. / There is a great need to reduce energy use in the world. By reducing energy demand, this reduces the negative environmental impact. In a constantly growing world, where it is built at an ever faster pace, the energy demand also increases. By increasing energy efficiency inexisting buildings, energy requirements may stagnate or even decrease despite expansion. By increasing energy efficiency, more of the energy demand can be used instead of standing for energy losses. Fortifikationsverket has a building they believe use too much energy. This building contains a restaurant that uses a steam system to heat its food, which makes the building's energy system unique. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the building, an energy audit is completed and analyzed in this report. This case study is conducted with a literature study to develop the knowledge in the field. Then measurements in the building are performed which are subsequently analyzed and presented to indicate any deviations and deficiencies. During the work it was discovered that a fuse was incorrectly installed to measure the electricity consumption of one of the boilers. By correcting this in order to be able to bill correctly, Fortifikationsverket saves almost 170,000 SEK per year as the boiler goes. In addition to this, the steam system was analyzed and estimates were made to respond if steam is more effective than electricity for cooking. It turns out that the steam system can be effective if a large amount of food is cooked. Considering nights, weekends and days when less food is cooked, electrical equipment is more effective because it completely turns off when not in use. Unlike the steam system that has to cover the energy losses to keep temperature and pressure, even when the system is not in use. By replacing the steam system with equivalent electrical equipment, it couldsave 205 MWh/year, according to estimates.The steam system accounts for 35% of the building's total electricity demandand is the largest item for energy use and is therefore the most focused area. In addition to the steam system, other energy usage was analyzed to provide energy savings. Many of the proposals are based on certain estimates and assumptions which must be considered. Some examples of savings that can be made is lowering the indoor temperature to save 50 MWh/year, install additional windows to save up to 140 MWh/year, install more efficient cooling units -200 MWh/year, install better ventilation control systems-50 MWh/year, install better controls for indoor lighting -40 MWh/year.
