The invention of the recovery boiler by G.H. Tomlinson in the early 1930s was a milestone in the advancement of the kraft process. [1] Recovery boilers are also used in the (less common) sulfite process of wood pulping; this article deals only with recovery boiler use in the kraft process.

The concept is embodied in the form of a "flow sheet". Process design then proceeds on the basis of the flow sheet chosen. Physical property data are the other component needed for process design apart from a flow sheet. The result of process design is a process flow diagram, PFD.
Economizers are commonly used as part of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in a combined cycle power plant. In an HRSG, water passes through an economizer, then a boiler and then a superheater. The economizer also prevents flooding of the boiler with liquid water that is too cold to be boiled given the flow rates and design of the boiler.
The original boilers were developed to burn coal, but they have been used since to burn many sorts of wood or plant waste. A chain-fed automatic stoker may also be fitted, where a heavy firing rate is required. The three-drum form is also used as a heat-recovery boiler, using the exhaust gases from steelworks or other industrial processes. [2]
Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for ...
A new type of heat-recovery steam generator based on the Benson boiler has operated successfully at the Cottam combined-cycle power plant in central England. The vertical tubing in the combustion chamber walls of coal-fired steam generators combines the operating advantages of the Benson system with the design advantages of the drum-type boiler.
Often used for heat-recovery from the exhaust of large Diesel engines. [16] Climax boiler: A vertical water-tube boiler with many long spiral coils around a central steam-and-water drum. [17] Cochran boiler: a vertical boiler with horizontal fire-tubes. [18] composite boiler: a boiler used for either direct-firing, or as a heat-recovery boiler ...
