Conventional energy sources are limited in the world and energy conservation is necessary now a days. Thermal Efficiency improvement is necessary for saving fuel and energy cost in modern coal based power plant. A boiler is the key part of the plant and its operation with optimum efficiency is very important. An assessment of boiler efficiency by using standard method and compare it with design value is necessary for its improvement. Numbers of feasible methods are available to improve thermal efficiency of boiler; by applying them one can easily improve it. Other thing is steam distribution system used in the power plant in which by varying insulation thickness improvement in energy saving, fuel saving and decrease in cost, surface loss is possible. In this paper, boiler efficiency of three boilers with same steam producing capacity of 30 TPH at one of the leading chemical industry is calculated and also analyze steam distribution system at various thickness of insulation.
