CAPABILITIES
Boiler Plant Testing & Diagnostic Troubleshooting
Many boiler plant problems can be difficult to diagnose and fix. Boilers operate under extreme conditions and can sometimes require experienced and specialized expertise to resolve challenging operational problems that may be encountered. Design Boiler is able to mobilize these specialized boiler plant testing and diagnostic services to most global locations. Our personnel are certified for confined space entry and have been trained to internationally recognised BOSIET & HUET systems for immediate off shore mobilization.
Our services include the following testing and diagnostic capabilities:
- Boiler Performance & Efficiency Testing: We undertake Performance testing to diagnose operational problems or to provide a formal basis for accepting new boiler plant. The latter is undertaken in accordance with ASME, BS or ISO standards.
- Particulate Emission Testing: We have extensive experience in coordinating the isokinetic testing of boiler plant, identifying the cause of high emissions and designing practical solutions to resolve common causes of high particulate emissions.
- Vibration Analysis: We are able to measure characterize and interpret destructive boiler tube bank and furnace vibrations, determine their cause and recommend a practical solution.
- Specialized Test Equipment: We have developed a range of specialized test equipment to assist with the diagnostic assessment of boiler plant. This includes Chordal thermocouples and modified pitot tubes utilized to determine circulation characteristics of boiler plant.
- Computer Modelling: Design Boiler has proven boiler modelling software which is used to model operational scenarios when confirming or testing causal hypotheses.
- Expert Analysis: We have extensive experience with boilers firing a range of fuels including high & low CV gases, grate firing with both coal and biomass fuels, pulverized coal firing, and waste heat recovery systems (including HRSGs).
