Forced Draft TEG Reboiler

TEG Reboiler

After a thorough analysis of the application and burner management system, our team concluded that upgrading the natural draft system to a forced draft system was essential. To implement this, we paired the PF3100 BMS Controller Panel with a low emissions burner, incorporating high-quality peripheral components, actuators, and safety shutoff valves.

This resulted in an exceptionally safe and reliable forced draft solution that provided:

• Sub-20 ppm NOx emissions (exceeding the sub-30 ppm requirement) with independent fuel/air control,
• <1 ppm CO through improved burner efficiency,
• Lowers maintenance costs from reduced downtime & fewer callouts,
• Streamlines system servicing with first out annunciation, AND
• Maintains an operating gas pressure of approximately 14″ W.C.

This solution not only meets the strict sub-30 ppm requirement but surpasses it, achieving emissions below 20 ppm. Additionally, it delivers significant benefits, including ~20% reduction in natural gas consumption. These savings result from lower emissions of NOx, CO, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and unburned hydrocarbons, effectively combining regulatory compliance with enhanced cost efficiency.

Thanks to the PF3100’s Modbus capabilities, the facility’s team can now access critical system data faster, respond quickly to issues, and get their operations back online with minimal downtime. Using either Modbus or local displays, combined with first out annunciation, the customer has significantly cut down the number of callouts required for system restarts.

By successfully reducing emissions, the customer not only achieved regulatory compliance, but also avoided costly penalties. The new system minimizes downtime, maximizes efficiency, and delivers significant operational improvements.

We’re proud to have delivered this project on schedule, while successfully managing the complexities of local, state, and federal environmental regulations. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to precision and reliability, ensuring every solution we provide aligns with the customer’s operational goals and compliance needs.
