Key Tail Gas Points Utilization Tail gas is normally used for steam and power generation. In case of non-utilization for steam / power generation the tail gases are either incinerated or flared.
Key Tail Gas Points Characteristics Typical constituents: CO, H 2, CH 4, N 2, C 2 H 2, O 2, H 2 O, H 2 S, CO 2 Low Calorific value (LCV: 600-850 kcal/nm³) lean gas. Combustion requires Temperature, Time and Turbulence.

Key Typical Points Tail Gas Fired Boiler Scheme Stack Steam Drum Convection Bank Combustor Economiser Burner Superheaters Air preheater
Key Salient Points Features of the Tail Gas Fired Boiler Thermal Efficiency of 85 % (Based on LCV) Externally fired combustion chamber for complete combustion of tail gases. Tangential entry of tail gas along with radial entry of combustion and dilution air into combustor ensures complete combustion. Combustor Orientation : Horizontal / Vertical Sufficient residence time for complete combustion of lean gases No auxiliary fuel is required during normal operation. Forced Draft / Balanced Draft System
Key Salient Points Features of the Tail Gas Fired Boiler Fully drainable Superheater. Superheater is placed in membrane panel construction, avoiding refractory lined casing. Screen tubes are provided before Secondary Superheater for protecting the same from direct radiation. Boiler Turndown Ratio 1:4
Key Salient Points Features of the Tail Gas Fired Boiler Rated superheat temperature is achieved for the given turn-down range because of Radiant Superheater. Convection section side walls consist of membrane panel construction. This ensures refractory less design. Boiler feed water pre-heater is provided to preheat feed water before entering Economiser. This ensures no corrosion of Economiser tubes. Bare tube Heat transfer surfaces to avoid gas side choking.

Key Observations Points Captive power generation is a great success and makes these plants self sufficient. Continuous plant availability makes these plants highly reliable. If wheeling of power is allowed, Carbon black plants can be net exporters of power. Tail gas burning and conserving energy is also Environmentally friendly.
