NEW TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FROM STATIONARY HEAT POWER FACILITIES IN RAILWAY TRANSPORT
The problem of negative environmental impact from the objects of stationary heat power engineering at railway transport enterprises is considered. It is shown that boiler houses operating on solid, liquid and gaseous fuels at enterprises of public facilities, locomotive and carriage depots are powerful sources of air pollution with sulfur oxides, solid particles, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. The analysis of studies on the distribution of emissions of harmful substances contained in the combustion products of steam and hot water boilers of railway transport enterprises is presented. The modern thermal engineering methods of fuel combustion in boilers, which reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, are considered. New technical solutions for the reduction of harmful emissions from fuel-burning devices, protected by patents for utility models, have been recommended for practical application.
