The growing need to reduce carbon emissions as well as improve the operating efficiency of the power plant has led to the widespread adoption of supercritical boilers. This technology provides high steam temperature and improved pressure parameters to achieve the desired efficiency of the power plant. Low fuel consumption is a direct consequence of installing efficient systems such as supercritical boilers, which in turn leads to increased profitability margins and better utilization of resources. Despite of the environmental concerns the need for coal as a source of power generation is continuously increasing at a steady pace. The demand for high-efficiency pulverized coal supercritical boilers, which reduces carbon emissions, is increasing as a result of the environmental concerns. Current market conditions demand highly efficient systems which are designed for rapid response times. Supercritical boilers have the ability to respond and adjust to market conditions which makes these systems important. The rapid industrialization and government development programmes will accelerate the market growth of supercritical boilers in developing economies, in the future.
