Industrial Boilers

Having supplied thousands of industrial boilers, ranging in size from 1 to 150 MWe, and firing a wide array of solid, gaseous and liquid industrial and waste fuels, we have the expertise to solve your industrial energy needs.

We provide high-value innovative solutions as diverse as our clients needs, such as the circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) boiler we provided to a Swedish community to convert demolition wood and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into steam for heating its homes and businesses, or the bubbling fluidized-bed (BFB) boiler we provided to a Finnish paper mill to convert its waste bark and sludge into useful steam needed by the mill, or the grate boiler we provided to power a Minnesota community using local agricultural waste as fuel. Our Lahti and Corenso projects in Finland illustrate how we apply our innovative CFB gasification technology to link the value of renewable fuels to conventional steam technologies.

In addition, we have delivered over 100 waste heat boilers for the non-ferrous metallurgical industry all over the world. By recovering heat that would otherwise be lost, our heat recovery technology makes it possible to achieve substantial increases in plant efficiency, while significantly cutting operating costs. Recovered heat can be used to produce steam for combined-cycle power generation, to heat water, gases, air, glycol, oil, or other fluids for a variety of applications, in addition to generating electricity.

For gas and liquid industrial applications, our technologies cover a diverse selection of both field-erected and shop-assembled designs, competitively addressing the full spectrum of required pressures, temperatures and capacities. We can offer standard durable models or customized designs, including high turndown or warm/hot standby, fast ramping or large load swings, complex combination firing with waste fuel utilization, one button start-up or other special control schemes, and critical service reliability. Field-erected boilers are a speciality.

Key features:

  • MONO-WALLTM construction for the entire furnace enclosure
  • Super-tough refractory compositions and anchoring systems
  • Utility-grade steam drum internals
  • Rugged step grids for our fluid bed units
  • Low NOx combustion systems
  • Nickel alloy overlays in all critical areas
  • Long-life furnace designs with high volumes and low heat absorption rates
  • INTREXTM heat exchangers to minimize corrosion
  • SmartboilerTM control systems for higher plant reliability
