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
