Abstract

Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG's) are widely used in chemical plants, refineries, incineration and cogeneration systems and in general for recovering energy from waste gas streams. In applications such as hydrogen or sulfuric acid plants, the duty and exit gas temperature from the HRSG are set by process considerations while the energy recovery potential in other applications is impacted by considerations of efficiency. In addition, low or high temperature corrosion, space availability, duty, size and maintenance aspects play a vital role in the design and sizing of HRSG's. This paper will address a few of the above considerations.
