High Pressure Steam Boiler For Chemical Plants

FangKuai water‑tube high pressure steam boiler deliver high‑temperature, steam for reactor heating, distillation and evaporation—ideal for large chemical plants.

Hhigh Temperature ​Steam Requirements in Chemical Manufacturing​​

Chemical production facilities require precisely controlled steam for core processes:

• ​​Reaction Systems​​: Endothermic reactions like methanol synthesis require ≥400°C steam for consistent catalyst performance
• ​​Distillation Columns​​: Separation of azeotropic mixtures (e.g., BTX streams) necessitates 3.8–4.0 MPa steam pressure
• ​​Sterilization​​: Pharma-grade processes mandate impurity-free steam at ≥1.6 MPa
• ​​Hydroprocessing​​: Desulfurization units utilize 450°C steam for hydrocarbon cracking

Steam parameter deviations risk catalyst deactivation, product impurities, or operational hazards.

Technology Development​​

Next-generation systems incorporate ​​adaptive combustion control​​ using process stream analytics. Field data confirms 6–8% fuel savings when synchronizing boiler output with distillation column demand profiles.

1. How frequently do water tube boilers require shutdown maintenance in continuous chemical processes?​

Answer:
FangKuai SZS boilers achieve 24-36 month uninterrupted service cycles under continuous chemical production loads, subject to:

• Water treatment compliance: Feedwater must maintain <0.1 μS/cm conductivity and <10 ppb silica
• Fuel quality control: Natural gas H₂S content <1 ppmv
• Automated soot-blowing: Programmed every 72 operational hours
  For catalyst regeneration shutdowns, full system inspections require 48-72 hours. The D-type tube bundle allows individual tube replacement without full module disassembly.

​​2. What measures ensure emission compliance with fluctuating fuel compositions (e.g., LPG/NG switches)?​

Answer:
Our integrated combustion system includes:

• ​​Multi-fuel FGR (Flue Gas Recirculation)​​: Maintains NOx <30 mg/m³ during fuel switching by modulating O₂ between 2.8-3.2 vol%
• ​​Real-time CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitoring)​​: Tracks SOx/NOx/CO at stack exit with 5-second data logging
• ​​Adaptive burner controller​​: Automatically adjusts air register settings for gases with Wobbe Index variations >±10%
  Compliance is verifiable against GB13271-2014 and HJ 75-2017 standards during environmental authority inspections.

​​3. Can these boilers handle rapid depressurization during process upsets (e.g., reactor quenching)?​

Answer:
Yes. Safety systems are engineered for chemical plant transients:

• ​​Multi-stage pressure relief​​: Mechanical safety valves (ASME Section I) sized for 110% MCR plus redundant pilot-operated valves
• ​​Deceleration control​​: Pressure drop rates limited to <0.7 MPa/min to prevent steam drum stress fractures
• ​​SIL-2 certified SIS​​: Triggers burner cut-out and feedwater isolation within 200 ms when ΔP/Δt exceeds safe thresholds
  Post-event restart achieves 100% load recovery in <45 minutes after verified stabilization.
