摘要
Sugar industry plays an important role in economic development of country. Cogeneration is an important source of income for sugar industries. Boiler is one of the essential components used in cogeneration process. Unscheduled boiler outages in sugar mills are major problem resulting loss of production. The boiler may be failed due to number of reasons; some of the reasons such as mechanical failure, electrical failure and temperature sensors failure. This paper describes the failures of the fuel feeding system frequently occurred in the cogeneration boiler and gives the solution to rectify these failures by using three important tools, namely, cause and effect diagram, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis and Taguchi method.
