Steam Boiler for Chemical Plant

A leading international customer in the chemical industry

Challenge & Solution

• On site, the customer has its own steam boiler at its disposal to provide the necessary process steam for its production processes and to process the waste streams that are released.
• The existing old steam boiler was at the end of its life, which was reflected in many unplanned downtimes due to leaks.
• A new steam boiler was required that met a number of additional requirements regarding the fuel mix to be burned, emissions and sustainability requirements imposed by the national Dutch MEE+ pact.
• Bilfinger Thermeq designed a tailor-made boiler concept and built and implemented it.

Scope of work

• Engineering (conceptual, basic, detail, process, mechanical and E&IA).
• Purchase/delivery of all necessary raw materials and equipment for the steam boiler with own designed burners and auxiliary equipment like skids, valves, pumps, fans, stack, ducting and piping.
• Production in our modern workshop of the steam boiler and burners (incl. NDO, hydrotesting, NoBo, preservation, packaging & transport. 
• On-site assembly (incl. NDT, hydro testing, crane and hoisting operations).
• Commissioning.
   

Key Figures

• Steam boiler produces 45 t/hr superheated steam from 440°C at 36 barg. Burners fired with Natural Gas (NG), Teer (TAR) and a blend of some other waste streams. Boiler also future proof for hydrogen combustion!
• Tremendous optimization of the client’s reliability, sustainability and performance. 
• Project fits perfectly within our mission as Bilfinger to be the number 1 in the field of efficiency and sustainability.
• Project execution according to our specific Bilfinger FEED project approach. Which means an integrated project approach from Conceptual Engineering to Basic Engineering to Project Execution (detail engineering, materials/equipment, production, site erection and commissioning).
