Handling gas boiler with multiple output

[Dreynard]

Is there a proper way to handle gas turbine burning gas and something else while trying to recyle exhaust gas?

I tried a setup with a cistern for CO2, didn't work. Any ideas on how, since turbine are mono-output for byproducts?

Easiest way would be two gas boilers. One for everything that outputs exhaust, the other for everything that outputs CO2. Since pipes only take one product at a time, there's no sorter for pipes.

U can push CO2 into limestone by injections pumps, but that should be the second priority of it, cause u can produce Graphite by CO2 with the Chemical Plants.
There r many byproducts and ways to handle it, its just a logical game to set this up. Sometimes its tricky, but u can solve it.
To recycle the exhaust by 100% is not possible, but at most, u get Sulfur, CO2 of em, which u can use for otherwise economical circles, like graphite, slag or acid and such more.
i just using gas boiler with water and H2, so i dont have the problems with exhaust, sulfur etc., its a fullfill running circle of water, boiler, storages, pipes, steam at every type etc.
i always starting by using the rainy weather, stores some water and build up the industry for water, salt, waste water etc.
but u have watch to the output all the time, the pipes have its own capacities, so u have to calculate all the time against ur industry, with EVERY INDUSTRY COMPLEX !!!!
and there is no best blueprint or something else, everything is handled by ur population, ur way to play and what u want. if u just want to start the rocket so fast as u can, so the way is another one to find out, how many ppl u can settle on the isle and manage em with all the consumptions

But then, you must replicate the input and you have less flexibility (like, using a "pipe balancer" for what you want to burn, for instance)

Well, yes. Put a pipe balancer one tile away from the boiler, hook it up, then connect it to your storages with fuel. And set which fuel goes with priority, of course.

The one tile is so the pipe actually feeding the boiler is as short as possible and thus quickly emptied.

Doesn't work because you cannot plug the cistern directly to the balancer, so you can get exhaust gas stuck in the one-length pipe section...

I think we talked past each other here. I meant for feeding the boiler, not for removing the results.

If the output pipe properly does not back up, you shouldn't have any issue with just connecting it to (with a short pipe) multiple locations?

Put the pipe balancer on the OUTPUT side of the 2 boilers (or banks of boilers). Prioritise the steam for the input you want to prioritise. That way it will only burn the 'secondary' fuel if the primary does not produce enough steam.
