[Boiler Classifications] By Fuel Used. Boilers may be designed to burn coal, wood, various grades of fuel oil, various types of fuel gas, or to operate as electric boilers. A boiler designed for one specific fuel type may not be convertible to another type of fuel. Some boiler designs can be adapted to burn coal, oil or gas. ... Coal-fired heating boilers have generally been unavailable due to lack of demand; however, recent demand has resulted in the re-introduction of coal-fired designs. 2, record 2, English, - coal%2Dfired%20boiler

Les maladies peuvent diminuer la qualité du grain. C'est ainsi que le blé rouillé est généralement maigre et de poids spécifique inférieur. Il subit donc un déclassement de ce fait. A la mouture, ce blé donne un faible rendement en farine.
