The challenges for this particular project were clear: high efficiency and a 99.8 % availability of steam and this in all safety because our client Chemours develops delicate chemical substances.
We replaced the former combined heat and power system with a high-end steam system consisting of two boilers supplying 40 tons of steam per hour each, fitted with an economiser. These boilers guarantee a continuous production process that stands or falls on Callens steam.
Output
2 x 40 tons of steam/h
Operating pressure
25 barg
Working pressure
21 barg
Fuel
natural gas
Combustion efficiency
96.5 % v the lowest calorific value
Each boiler can run at full capacity within twenty minutes, offering our client the flexibility to give the process an extra boost when necessary. That the installation is a powerful one our client notices every day. That the system is also a noiseless one even the neighbours will admit. In fact, the system was designed to prevent noise nuisance for the nearby residents.
