Abstract

In this study, energy and exergy analysis are studied to 
examine and understand the performance of the combustion chamber 
(furnace) of the heating unit in Nag Hammadi fiber board Company 
(NFB) with a capacity of 22 MW, utilizing natural gas and biofuel 
together where the combustion chamber is designed to burn natural 
gas and wood dust at the same time to decrease the operating cost of 
the heating unit. The main purpose of combustion chamber is to burn 
natural gas and biofuel to supply the heating unit by high temperature 
combustion products. There is no heat transfer inside the combustion 
chamber except heat losses through the wall of the combustion 
chamber. The purpose of the heating unit in the factory is to supply 
the manufacturing processes by hot flue gases for dryer unit, hot 
thermal oil for hot press system and saturated steam for the digester. 
The energy and exergy efficiencies are found to be 69 % and 28 %, 
respectively. This study is carried out to identify and quantify the 
energy and exergy losses in the combustion chamber.
