description The efficiency of improvement of the boiler is identified as the main priority of this project. This can be done by studying and suggest the ways to enhance the process control of the steam generating system and its instrumentation.

The recommendation is assumed to be implemented and efficiency calculations using mathematical programming approach has been done. The first phase of the project is the study on boiler in terms fuel characteristics, firing system and combustion control to enhance the efficiency calculation at the later stage.
