Our track record
Innovative boiler rebuild with design upgrades to a legacy Foster Wheeler industrial boiler.
- Project developed from a Wood engineering study which evaluated boiler performance on different fuels
- Boilers originally provided process steam supplying steam along with two existing package boilers to a T-G set generating 80MW
- Wood concluded that an innovative re-build was the most beneficial and commercially viable solution for client
- Retained existing steam and mud drums only
- New supply included furnace wall tubes, boiler generating bank, superheater and inlet/outlet headers, new drum internals, forced draft fan ductwork and expansion joints (EJs), induced draft fans with VFDs flues and EJs, boiler casing, new safety valves, gas burner system, and economisers
- Client experienced a +15% steam capacity gain along with the capability to burn multiple fuels including natural gas, coke oven gas and blast furnace gas.
A century of steam generator experience
Global sourcing, local support
We combine over 100 years of energy, power and process engineering with experience supplying aftermarket spare parts for legacy Foster Wheeler and non-OEM equipment.
