The temperature of the glycol entering the contactor has a significant effect on the gas dew point depression and should be held to within 10oF above the inlet gas temperature. Higher glycol losses and higher outlet gas dew points occur when the lean glycol enters the contactor at a temperature more than 100F above the gas temperature
Glycol dehydration processes utilize glycol solvents to remove water from wet natural gas to meet pipeline quality specifications or condition the gas for condensate liquids removal.
Modular boilers are compact, factory-assembled boiler units designed to work together in a series — offering scalable steam or hot water generation based on demand. Rather than relying on a single large boiler, modular systems operate with multiple small units that can be staged on or off as needed.
Fluidized bed boilers (FBBs) use a unique combustion method where solid fuel particles are suspended in an upward flow of air — creating a fluid-like state. This allows for highly efficient combustion at lower temperatures with improved emissions control.
Waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs) capture hot exhaust gases from industrial processes or engines and use that heat to generate steam or hot water — without burning additional fuel.
Electric boilers use electricity to generate steam or hot water — eliminating the need for fuel combustion. Unlike traditional boilers, there are no burners, gas valves, or flue stacks. Heat is generated through electrical resistance or electrode-type elements, making them clean, quiet, and often more compact.
A water-tube boiler is a type of boiler where water circulates inside the tubes, and hot combustion gases flow around the outside of those tubes. This design is ideal for high-pressure applications and large steam outputs, making it the go-to choice for power plants, refineries, chemical processing, and other heavy-duty industries.
Industrial boilers are the beating heart of countless facilities—from chemical plants and refineries to food processing and textile mills. But not all boilers are created equal.
A boiler is only as healthy as the water that feeds it. Without proper treatment, boiler feedwater can quietly degrade system performance, corrode metal surfaces, and drastically reduce equipment lifespan.
In industrial operations, boiler downtime isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a profit killer. Whether it’s lost production, emergency repair costs, or compliance penalties, a boiler failure can have far-reaching impacts. Fortunately, many of these issues are preventable with a strong, proactive maintenance strategy. In this post, we’ll cover boiler maintenance best practices that help keep systems running safely, efficiently, and reliably—while minimizing surprise shutdowns.
