While fuel cost sometimes means exactly what it suggests (the cost of fuel), it has a particular meaning in the energy industry: the cost of the heat content of the fuel. This cost is calculated by dividing the total cost of the fuel by its BTU content (the amount of heat energy it can produce) and multiplying the result by one million

The process of assembling flanged components such as pressure-control equipment.

A process of burning coal in which the coal is inserted in a bed of particles that are suspended in the air and that react with the coal to heat the furnace more cleanly. In FBC, coal is burned at a slightly lower temperature, which helps prevent some nitrogen oxide gases from forming.
