Plant & Works Engineering February/March 2023

34 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk February/March 2023 Energy & Environmental Management Focus on: Boilers, Burners & Controls able to modulate efficiently to varying steam loads. Electric boilers are, as already stated, more efficient, but for large generating capacities are frequently not practical to install due to large supply cables and infrastructure requirements. However, the actual maintenance costs can be up to 50% less than those of fuel-fired steam boilers. Generally, the only major parts that are periodically changed are the electric elements themselves, yet these are often replaced quickly and cost effectively. This balances lower life cycle costs against the high maintenance requirements of fuel-fired boilers, including refractory repairs, 5-year NDT requirements, burner maintenance, flue maintenance and the requirement for highly-skilled and often highly- paid plant operatives.
