Sample Calculations of Savings from Heat recovery from Boiler Continuous Blow down: Heat recovery percentage 35%

% Boiler efficiency : JTA 56%, Yoshimine 56% Cost of fuel (bagasse) P2000/ton Heating value of bagasse (GCV), 51% moisture, 2% pol in bagasse 4000 BTU/lb Assume blow down pressure at 15 psig Result of computations: JTA 1. Blow down rate 1.69 TPH 2. % blow down 1.69 3. Total BTU in blow down 0.91 million BTU/hr 4. Cost of fuel saved at 35% heat recovery and 56% boiler eff.
