Water-tube waste heat boiler for process steam generation in the chemical industry

FIS Termoli | Termoli, Italy

For the disposal of a wide range of different residues/waste products generated during the production of chemical intermediates at a production site in southern Italy, thermal afterburning with heat recovery in the form of a waste heat boiler for process steam generation is required.

Project Highlights

11 t/h process steam at 18 bar from residual-material combustion

Soot-blowing and ash removal system for particle-laden flue gases

72 h BoB – fully automatic operation

Initial Situation

  • To dispose of a wide range of different residual materials and waste products from the manufacture of chemical intermediates, a thermal oxidiser with heat recovery in the form of a waste heat boiler for process steam generation was required.

The Solution from SCHNEIDER-KESSEL BERLIN®

A waste heat steam boiler of type WRK-AHK 11000/18 in water-tube boiler design was engineered, manufactured and delivered, and the installation was supported with on-site supervision. A heating-surface cleaning system (soot blowers) was integrated to clean the fouled heating surfaces. An ash removal system ensures continuous ash discharge. The scope of supply includes complete boiler equipment as well as feedwater supply for 72 h BoB operation.
