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 NO_x Emissions

• Less than 30ppm NOx

Marspec to the Rescue

A user of PTFE lined pipe was let down by their contracted supplier over the weekend when large diameter spools were needed on an emergency basis.

The customer's project manager called Marspec's 24/7 emergency callout service and found the service he needed - twice. The first call came in on Saturday and the on-call team at Marspec responded immediately, having spools ready earlier than the customer expected. The second call on Sunday was met with the same sense of urgency.

The customer was impressed with the level of service Marspec provided and sent a note of thanks to the team that made everything happen for him.

A Truckload of Energy Efficiency

Highly efficient Miura steam boilers were selected for a major utility upgrade project at a roofing manufacturing plant in Texas. Marspec worked closely with the specifying engineer to create a package of steam production and condensate handling equipment that was both economical to purchase as well as operate.

Marspec supplied three Miura EX300 boilers, a Lockwood deaerator and various other valves and accessories. We snapped a photo the truck carrying one of the Miura boilers and the Lockwood DA as it was preparing to leave the Marspec facility.

Marspec Ships Ductwork for Economizer Project

The condensing economizer that Marspec shipped to a Mississippi industrial customer was completed with some custom ductwork designed by Marspec and built to our specifications by a local fabricator. The completed metalwork was delivered to Marspec's Spanish Fort, Alabama shop where it was insulated and palletized for shipment.

Here is a photo of the completed ducting loaded on the hauler for delivery to the job site.
