A. Steam generator

The latest design of the company’s Circulatic Steam Generator incorporates linkageless controls and communications capabilities.  The linkageless controls offer improved combustion, fuel savings through improved efficiencies, and more reliability with the elimination of mechanical linkages. The new design still offers all of the advantages of the original Circulatic, such as 5 minute startup, compact design, and full modulation with 10 to 1 turndown ratios. Vapor Power offers boilers up to 600 BHP and 3200 psi as well as thermal fluid heaters up to 20,000,000 btu/hr.

B. Shut-off valves

Maxon’s Series 8000 safety shut-off valves have new features designed to keep them your first choice for safety, reliability, and maximized system up-time. Searing heat or bitter cold gives sure closing at temps to -50°C (-58°F) while meeting API 6FA Fire Safe standards. The larger open/closed indicator clearly announces valve position in high-contrast colors. Series 8000 meets tough Class VI leakage standards, carries multiple global endorsements, and are SIL-3 capable.   Unique metal-to-metal seats wear in, not out, with each cycle, and numerous body and trim options provide excellent application flexibility.

D. Steam generator

The FC-OSSG forced-circulation large-capacity steam generator offers up to 250 T/H of steam. With less than 2% blowdown with evaporator water, and 99.5% steam purity, the unit also tolerates substantial upsets in water quality, heat flux, and flow. The FC-OSSG features modern, water-cooled walls and optimized, heat-transfer surfaces, reducing its footprint and weight by 50%. It is specifically designed with significant margins to avoid metal temperature excursions and tube failures. A two-layer defense addresses fluctuations in water quality, increasing reliability compared to traditional OTSGs.
