Babcock Wanson (UK) Ltd

Energy saving and efficiency are key factors for modern industry. One of the most significant energy users in a typical production facility is the boiler and, recognising this, Babcock Wanson offers the R-ECO solution, which provides improvements in boiler efficiency of up to 98%*. The R-ECO is a combination of two technologies:

1. Combustion air pre-heating: This technology on its own increases the overall boiler but it can also increase the NOx emission.
2. Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR): FGR helps reduce the formation of NOx emissions in the flue gas to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Our air vein heat burners have outputs from 100,000 to 30,000,000 kCal/h . The combustion air can arrive at the burner in air vein in two ways: directly from the vein or by means of a fan sucking it up from outside. This is in order to cope with environment variables.

Please call for more information on Air Vein Burners

The main characteristics of our bi-blocks burners are that they can accommodate various fuel options such as gas, oil, or special fuels. They also have excellent combustion performance thanks to internal burner technology.

Steam outputs from 1500 kg/h to 8000 kg/h
The BWD series of fire tube steam boilers feature three pass design and use a coaxially located furnace tube providing optimum distribution of mechanical stress in operation. This is a key feature for boilers that operate under low or variable steam load and ensures long equipment life. High quality dry steam is provided due to generous steam space and integral separator.

Low Fuel Consumption

• The perfect match between the boiler shell and burner ensures reliable and efficient operation. Efficiencies of 95% plus can be achieved when fitted with a Babcock Wanson matched economiser and heat recovery system.
• Consistent high thermal efficiency throughout the firing range is a key feature. Digital micro-modulation control with burner head geometry specifically designed to suit the BWD boiler means accurate control of excess air and lowest practicable operating costs.
• Electrical power consumption can be reduced by 30% to 50% by the use of variable speed control for the combustion air fan and feed water pump when specified.

Reduced Operating Cost

• Robust Construction for long life
• Direct access to the reversal chamber and ease of tube inspection simplifies mandatory inspection
• The outer walls of the flue gas reversal chamber are water cooled and provide high efficiency without the need for furnace tie rods which can be a weak point on traditional wet back boilers
• Standard equipment options include fully approved controls for attended, site supervised or fully unattended operation including the Babcock Wanson BW720 Operating System.

Steam outputs from 10,000 kg/h to 30,000 kg/h
BWR Fire Tube Boilers feature three pass design and include a tubular construction flue gas reversal chamber. This proven feature, unique to Babcock Wanson, enhances water circulation thereby greatly reducing the risk of internal fouling (sludge accumulation in the bottom of the boiler). Furnace tie rods are not required and uniform shell expansion gives the flexibility to meet large steam load changes with minimal operational stress. High quality dry steam is provided due to generous steam space and integral separator.

Low Fuel Consumption

• The perfect match between the boiler shell and burner ensures reliable and efficient operation. Efficiencies in excess of 98% (R-Eco) and 105% (Condensing) can be achieved when fitted with a Babcock Wanson matched economiser and heat recovery system.
• Consistent high thermal efficiency throughout the firing range. Digital micro- modulation control with burner head geometry specifically designed to suit the BWR boiler provides very high turndown ratios with accurate control of excess air and lowest practicable operating costs.
• Electrical power consumption is reduced by 30% to 50% by the use of variable speed control.

Reduced Operating Cost

• Robust Construction for long life
• No risk of internal fouling
• The flue gas reversal chamber is fully water cooled ensuring high efficiency and minimum maintenance requirements. Ease of access to the chamber simplifies inspection.

We have developed a process to rationalise and limit the size of installations: the Carbomix® is a compact installation in which decarbonisation and softening phases are carried out in a single exchanger.

Please call for more information.

When the process requires reduced levels of salts in the industrial water supply it is advisable to further purify the feed water. Apart from a demineralisation by reverse osmosis, another solution is a demineralisation by resin exchange: the "HRW process".
