Operations & Maintenance: Can be operated 24/7, only once or twice a year maintenance shutdowns
Fuel: Multi Solid Fuel
Capacity: Low-Medium capacity (upto25 TPH)
Pressure: Low-Medium pressure (upto24 ksc)
Design and Construction:
Single Drum Configuration: Simplifies construction and maintenance.
Four Passes: Enhances heat transfer efficiency by allowing the flue gases to pass through four stages, increasing the time for heat exchange.
Water Tube Design: Water flows inside the tubes, and hot gases flow over the tubes, providing efficient heat transfer and faster response to steam demand.
Efficiency and Performance:
High Efficiency: Multiple passes increase the heat absorption from the combustion gases, leading to higher thermal efficiency.
Quick Start-Up: The water tube design allows for quicker start-up times compared to fire-tube boilers.
Better Heat Distribution: Uniform heat distribution due to multiple passes reduces the risk of thermal stress and improves the overall performance.
Maintenance and Inspection:
Ease of Maintenance: Single drum design and easy access to tubes make maintenance and inspection more straightforward.
Automatic Cleaning Systems: Option to include automatic cleaning systems like soot blowers, ash handling systems and fuel handling systems helps maintain efficiency and performance.
Applications:
Industrial Processes: Ideal for industries requiring high steam output and pressure, such as power generation, chemical processing, and food manufacturing.
Power Plants: Frequently used in small to medium-sized power plants for efficient steam generation.
Customization and Scalability:
High Pressure Capability: Suitable for high-pressure applications due to the robust design of water tubes.
Safer Operation: Lower water content reduces the risk of a catastrophic explosion.
Reliability: Durable construction and materials ensure long-term reliable operation.
Maintenance and Inspection:
Modular Design: Can be customized to meet specific requirements, including size, capacity, and additional features.
Scalability: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to the ability to scale the design for different steam capacities.
Economic Considerations:
Cost-Effective Operation: High efficiency and fuel flexibility result in lower operating costs.
Long-Term Investment: Durable and reliable operation ensures a good return on investment over the boiler' s lifespan.
Regulatory Compliance:
Standards and Certifications: Designed to meet international standards such as ASME, IBR, and PED, ensuring compliance with safety and performance regulations.
Regular Audits: Subject to regular inspections and audits to maintain safety and efficiency standards.
