Leading the industry in reduced emissions.

More Solutions
Alstoms in-furnace and postcombustion technologies can help meet todays strictest emissions requirements, including NOx, SOx, VOCs, CO2 and particulates. And Alstoms integrated boiler/ backend designs will optimize your units sizing and performance criteria, all with the lowest installed and operating costs.

Alstoms family of advanced firing systems lead the industry in environmental performance achieving superior NOx reductions for our customers. Our tangential firing system is the basis for high performance and low emissions for all fossil fuels. Its unique, single rotating flame envelope ensures thorough mixing and long residence time of fuel and combustion air. The result is uniform waterwall heat absorption and exceptionally low NOx emissions over the entire boiler load range due to moderated combustion. Additionally, the windbox fuel and air nozzle assemblies can be tilted to regulate furnace heat absorption for accurate and economic steam temperature control.

The use of overfire air (OFA) and boosted overfire air (BOFA) in tangentially-fired boilers burning liquid and gaseous fuels enhances the reduction of NOx emissions.

Windbox for oil / gas unit at manufacturing facility

Utility class units typically are required to fire a large range of fuel oils and gas. Because of this flexibility requirement, Alstom design experts pay special attention to furnace sizing and the control of steam temperatures. Alstoms experience with multiple fuels includes a wide range of fuel types, furnace sizes, heating surface arrangements and steam temperature control systems. From this knowledge and experience base, we can optimize the design of your boiler to maximize efficiency and performance for the spectrum of fuels and operating loads.

ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS
Exceeding Your Performance and Fuel Requirements
Today many 20-50 year old boilers are being operated in ways for which they werent designed, such as cycling, increased peak loading or use of opportunity fuels. This increases the potential risk of earlier failure and expensive downtime. The same Alstom teams that supply state-of-the-art technology for new units have proven experience in major rehabilitation and performance optimization projects designed to increase plant life, reduce downtime, and improve efficiency and environmental performance. We offer comprehensive engineering and economic analyses to support your decision and can also perform condition monitoring to identify potential problems before they occur.
