OVERVIEW:
Stark’s boiler group worked with a mechanical contractor and engineer to design and implement a custom O-Style 60,000 pph Victory Energy boiler system. The system replaced a 30,000 pph system and integrated with two existing boiler units installed in 1968.
SCOPE:
- Design & project phasing coordination
- Conversion of existing dual-fuel boilers from #6 to #4 fuel oil for backup fuel
- Supplied custom built boiler with double the capacity in the same footprint
- Startup and commissioning of the new boiler with natural gas as primary, #2 oil as secondary
- Tied new boiler into existing Yokogawa SCADA system, adding touch screen interfaces to all boilers
SOLUTION:
Installed a high turndown burner that allowed the same minimum load for double the capacity at full load
Ancillary equipment included:
- economizer
- blowdown separator
- gas, steam & water flow meters
- #2 oil fuel pump set
