High-Pressure Waste Heat Boiler: Engineered for Efficient High-Pressure Hot Water and Steam Generation.

Why Waste Heat Recovery Should Be Your Next Investment?

 Our  waste heat boiler fundamentally solve three major challenges: flue gas dew point corrosion, dust abrasion, and high-temperature performance. It boasts a long lifespan, low resistance, and compact structure, allowing for reliable operation across a wide range of flue gas temperatures. This boiler is suitable for flue gas waste heat recovery systems in refinery heating furnaces, power plant boilers, and blast furnaces in steel mills. Even in harsh operating conditions, its lifespan is 3-5 times longer than that of conventional waste heat boilers, making the economic benefits evident amount of heat is released as waste.

Recovery of waste heat is not only a tool to save energy; it is an opportunity for earning money. Each drop of the waste heat fleeing your industrial processes is money that could be put to productive use. By installing a waste heat boiler, the energy can be captured and channeled into your facility.
Think about a steel mill: the heat coming off of your furnace is simply exhausted to the atmosphere unless a waste heat boiler is installed. In which case recovery of that energy drives turbines, creates steam, or supplies hot water. It’s a closed-loop system that cuts fuel costs, reduces the demand for outside energy, and improves profitability.
Key point: Waste heat recovery impacts operational cost, profit margin, and sustainability…

Types of Waste Heat Boilers for Maximum Returns

Making the right selection of waste heat boilers can bring in increased efficiencies and savings unparalleled before. Each of the waste heat boilers from Gelan is specifically engineered for industrial applications at your plant, since each has very specific needs, for maximum return on investment.

Shell and Tube Waste Heat Boilers: Economical Heat Transfer in Process Media

Based on their structure, there are mainly two major types of waste heat boilers: shell and tube, and others. They consist of either a tube bundle or coil heat exchanger. Inside the heat exchange tubes, the process media are circulating, while the shell is filled with cooling water. The heat coming from the process media heats and boils the cooling water to produce steam. Based on two different criteria, these boilers may further be classified into two subgroups:

  • With Steam Drum: Steam drum is connected with the boiler through riser and downcomer pipes for continued supply of steam.
  • Without Steam Drum: They have their evaporation space, and U-tubes are generally used in the heat exchange tubes.

Flue Gas Waste Heat Boilers: Recovering Energy from Flue Gas - Efficiently

Based on the structure, the other main type of waste heat boiler is the flue gas waste heat boilers. These are modular steam generators using high-temperature flue gases for heating the water and consequently producing steam. They find their application in chemical furnaces and comprise vertically arranged heat exchange tubes to transfer the heat from flue gases to the water inside the tubes. The steam thus produced may be used for different industrial applications.

Other Types:

Coking waste heat boiler

Coking waste heat boiler

Coking plants produce a large amount of coking waste gas at 550-900°C during coking production. In order to further recover the coking waste gas

Automatic coke oven gas burner is adopted, where coke oven gas is burned inside or outside the waste heat boiler and then mixed with coking waste gas to form high temperature flue gas into the boiler for heat exchange to produce rated steam. Low cost, small footprint and high efficiency, environmental protection,

Hazardous waste incineration

In factories, printing and dyeing, chemical and other industries in the production of toxic and hazardous gases, extremely harmful to the environment, these exhaust gases contain organic gases, sulfides, phenols, harmful gases, the general choice of incineration, the use of direct combustion furnace (TO furnace), regenerative combustion furnace (RTO), catalytic combustion furnace (RCO).

After incineration, the waste heat is recovered and cooled down to meet the temperature requirements of desulfurization and denitrification, which can realize the double role of environmental protection and energy saving.

Carbon rotary waste heat boiler

Carbonaceous raw materials (anthracite coal, petroleum coke, etc.) are calcined at high temperature under the condition of air insulation is the first process of carbonaceous production, and the high temperature flue gas discharged in the process of calcination can be reused as waste heat. According to the actual situation of waste heat resources, our company has configured different specifications of waste heat steam boiler or waste heat organic heat carrier furnace. Energy saving, cost saving

  1.  The flue gas inlet section is equipped with anti-abrasion devices to ensure the safety of the windward tube bundle.

  2. The material for the low-temperature section tube bundles is selected from our proprietary composite alloy pipes combined with soft enamel structures, ensuring overall corrosion resistance and durability.

  3.  The compact structure occupies less land area and space, typically reducing the volume by about 20% compared to traditional waste heat boilers. It utilizes a modular design for flexible application, allowing adjustments to fit the size of the heating furnace, which facilitates transportation and installation.

  4. High heat transfer performance; our company uses imported finned tube production lines with a high-frequency resistance welding fusion rate. The fin welding rate exceeds 98%, resulting in low thermal resistance. The heat transfer performance per unit length of our finned tubes can improve by about 10% compared to domestic alternatives.

  5. Cost-effective; with a high overall cost-performance ratio and significant energy savings, the tail section of the heating surface equipped with our newly developed waste heat boiler can enhance the overall thermal efficiency of the heating furnace by 6% to 20%. The investment payback period can be recouped in a short time.

FAQs

Waste heat recovery recaptures the energy from waste heat generated in industrial processes and makes it serve a valuable purpose, such as steam or power generation.

The systems for recovering waste heat circulate hot exhaust gases through the inlet of a waste heat boiler to transfer energy into water or steam, which in turn feeds into various industrial applications. The recovered energy reduces additional fuel consumption, hence increasing efficiency.

Waste heat boilers recover heat from the spent gases to produce either steam or hot water. The system reuses the energy that is usually wasted and brings efficiency to industrial systems.

Designing of the waste heat recovery boiler depends on certain parameters or factors that include the temperature in the exhausts, composition of gases, and energy requirements at the process site. Since designs are made to order, the energy recovered is maximum, hence assuring efficiency in operations peculiar to each process.
