Steam Boiler Cost Per Ton Steam

June 11, 2020

A steam boiler is an industrial boiler that heats water to a certain temperature and generates high-temperature steam. It is a large-scale thermal energy equipment. During the operation of the boiler, the enterprise needs to consider its operating costs to ensure that it meets the economically applicable principles during use and reduces costs to a minimum.

According to the fuel, it can be divided into coal-fired and oil-fired steam boilers. The fuel combustion cost can be calculated according to the product of actual consumption and unit fuel price. The fuel price is related to the fuel type and quality, and the transportation cost should be included. Since the prices of coal, natural gas and oil are equal, and the characteristics of fuel burning are not equal, it is necessary to choose the appropriate fuel according to the company’s own situation.
