Temat: Super Boiler: A Super Hero of Steam Generation

An Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective Solution
Enter the Super Boiler, which combines ultra-high efficiency, low emissions, state-of-the-art controls, and a smaller boiler footprint into a super hero package of steam generation technology. DOE and its partners recently celebrated the success of the initial year-long field test of the Super Boiler at Specification Rubber Products in Alabaster, Alabama, and additional demonstration projects are in the works. DOE predicts that this technology could save industry more than 185 trillion Btu of natural gas by 2020, and about $10 billion in annual energy costs—goals that meet immediate needs for efficient steam technology solutions and contribute to DOE's strategic, long-term Super Boiler 2020 program.

In the initial field demonstration, a single-stage 300-hp boiler was installed at Specification Rubber Products, a rubber gasket manufacturer, where it has operated successfully for more than 8,000 hours. The boiler demonstrated a fuel-to-steam efficiency of 93%-94% and reduced NOx levels to less than 9 parts per million. It also cut annual natural gas use by 13%, and reduced makeup water consumption by more than 6%.
