Make the process visible. Understand the balance.
A boiler is a connected system of fuel, heat and operating conditions. This TENT A project presentation shows how SIAL approaches that complexity through schematic visualisation, an explicit energy balance and scenario exploration. It illustrates the modelling method, not verified performance at the plant.
Inside the boiler balance
Schematic animation of a thermodynamic balance model. Not plant footage, measured operation, validated CFD or a live operational digital twin.
Explore the fuel-energy balance
Adjust moisture, ash and the energy content of dry, ash-free fuel. The result illustrates the formula's response, not a forecast for TENT A.
Hd = (1 − W − A) × Hdaf − 2.442 × W
H_d = (1 − W − A) × H_daf − 2.442 × W. W and A are mass fractions; energy values are in MJ/kg. Moisture and ash together must not exceed 100%.
Controls update the fuel-balance calculation, not the separate schematic video.
From inputs to a defensible scenario
Define the inputs and their provenance. Make the balance and assumptions explicit. Compare bounded scenarios. Then validate against measurements from the relevant plant before using the results to support operational or investment decisions.
Industrial process simulationA model, with its limits visible
TENT A-specific operating validation is still pending. The supplied fuel report used as a calibration reference concerns Kostolac B, not TENT A. Its measurements are not published here. This schematic model and illustrative calculation do not establish plant efficiency, predict operating output or guarantee performance, savings or emissions reductions.
