Marspec Welcomes Alvin Phan

Marspec Technical Products is pleased to welcome Alvin Phan to the inside sales team. Alvin is a recent graduate of the University of South Alabama where he was awarded a degree in mechanical engineering. 

Alvin will be handling all customer requests, but he will be focusing primarily on accounts in south Mississippi and northwest Florida.

Welcome aboard, Alvin!  

New GBT Boiler for a Gulf Coast Chemical Plant

Marspec Technical Products has just installed a new Green Boiler Technologies Immersion Fired natural gas steam boiler at a Florida panhandle chemical plant. The SPB Immersion Fired Series of steam boilers is well known throughout the industry for its unique single-pass design and burner technology. Available in both high pressure and low pressure steam, the single pass immersion firetube design delivers premixed air and gas through multiple burner nozzles. A corresponding flue tube completely immersed in liquid, is aligned with the nozzle head inside the combustion chamber. Upon combustion, the nozzles generate a focused, high velocity flame which radiates down the center of each tube. The benefits of the technology in the SPS Immersion Fired Series steam boilers include:
 
Natural Efficiency
  • Up to 82% efficiency
  • Radiant heat is maximized across the primary heating surface
 Low Maintenance Cost and High Longevity
  • Elimination of thermal shock due to balanced heat transfer across primary heating surface; allowing for up to 150° F ΔT
  • Backed by a 20-year non-prorated thermal shock warranty
  • Elimination of refractory breakdown due to single pass design (no refractory material is used)
 Ease of Maintenance
  • Hinged door provides quick access to burners, manifold and heating tubes for easy cleaning and routine maintenance
  • Trimmed with non-proprietary components
 Simplicity of Design
  • No complex controls which require intensive training
  • Fewer moving parts reduces incidence of failure and required retuning
 Low NOx Emissions
  • Less than 30ppm NOx
