The Industrial Boiler & Steam Systems Handbook is a comprehensive 614-page professional reference written for engineers working in FMCG and modern manufacturing industries. Drawing on 27+ years of hands-on industrial experience, the author bridges the gap between engineering theory and plant-floor practice across every aspect of industrial boiler and steam utility engineering.

Unlike textbooks that stop at theory, this handbook follows every concept immediately with its practical consequence — what it means for fuel cost, steam quality, maintenance windows, and the people who operate the equipment.

What the book covers:

The handbook spans 16 chapters and 10 appendices, taking the reader from boiler fundamentals through to Industry 4.0 digital transformation:

Boiler design, classification, ratings, and selection
Thermodynamics, heat transfer, and steam properties
Boiler components and auxiliary systems
Fuels, combustion systems, and emission control
Feedwater treatment, water chemistry, and steam purity
Operation, start-up, shutdown, and operational best practices
Maintenance, inspection, reliability engineering, and asset management
Steam distribution, condensate recovery, and steam utilization
Energy efficiency, performance evaluation, and heat recovery
Safety, codes, standards, risk assessment, and emergency management
Instrumentation, automation, PLC, DCS, and advanced control systems
Steam system design and piping engineering (advanced)
Boiler house utilities and balance of plant
Performance testing, energy audits, and operational optimization
Steam utilization in FMCG manufacturing industries
Industry 4.0, IIoT, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation

The 10 appendices cover saturated steam tables, unit conversion factors, efficiency formulas, water chemistry reference, fuel properties and combustion data, O&M checklists, troubleshooting guides, codes and standards reference, engineering charts, and a performance improvement register.

Who this book is for:

This handbook is written for utility engineers, boiler engineers, energy managers, maintenance and reliability professionals, instrumentation and controls engineers, plant managers, and engineering graduates entering manufacturing industries. It is equally suited as a day-to-day plant reference and as a structured learning resource.
