Power station boiler
Boiler of a coal-fired power station. The boiler is used to generate superheated steam that is fed to a series of turbines. These are connected to generators to produce electricity. Modern boilers such as this BKZ-220 use pulverised coal to maximise combustion efficiency and exhaust gas treatment to minimise production of greenhouse gases.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the power station boiler of a coal-fired facility at the Artyemovsk thermal power station in Primoye, Russia. The sheer magnitude and complexity of this industrial marvel is truly awe-inspiring. The boiler itself plays a crucial role in generating superheated steam, which is then directed to a series of turbines. These turbines are ingeniously connected to generators that harness their rotational energy to produce electricity on a massive scale. What makes this particular boiler so remarkable is its modern design and advanced technology. Known as BKZ-220, it utilizes pulverised coal as fuel, ensuring maximum combustion efficiency while minimizing the production of harmful greenhouse gases through exhaust gas treatment. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but appreciate the immense contribution made by such cutting-edge boilers in meeting our ever-growing demand for electricity. It serves as a reminder that even within an industry often associated with environmental concerns, strides are being made towards more efficient and sustainable energy generation. This photograph not only captures the raw power and ingenuity behind these systems but also highlights Russia's significant role in global energy production. With its horizontal pipes and ducts forming an intricate network throughout the frame, it symbolizes both progress and responsibility towards cleaner fossil fuel usage. In essence, this image encapsulates how science and engineering converge to drive our world forward – providing us with essential electricity while simultaneously striving for greater efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
