Steam Boiler for Petrochemical Plant

A leading international customer in the petrochemical industry

Challenge & Solution

• On site, the customer has its own steam boilers operational to provide the necessary process steam for its production processes and to process the waste streams that are released.

• One of the existing old steam boilers was at the end of its lifetime and had to be replaced with a new one to ensure reliable steam supply and business operation

• In addition, steam production and efficiency had to be increased, emissions had to be reduced, and a different fuel mix had to be fired.

• Bilfinger Thermeq designed and built a tailor-made boiler concept.

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 accomplishing 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 50 t/hr superheated steam from 353°C at 41 barg. Burners fired with Natural Gas (NG), high pressure residu gas (HPRG) , low pressure residu gas (LPRG) and Waste Water (WW). Boiler also future proof for hydrogen combustion!

• Tremendous optimization of the client’s reliability, flexibility and performance. Complying with recent applicable emission regulations. 

• 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).
