Boiler Maintenance Services
Faseco provides technical boiler maintenance services that helps manufacturing companies to reduce a substantial part of their operational budget on boiler fuel for the generation of the required heating and process steam.
The manner the steam plant is designed and operated impacts heavily on the amount and so cost of fuel consumed.
Significant cost savings on boiler fuel can be achieved by a combination of the following:
- Optimizing the steam plant design to include steam condensate recovery
- Skillfully adjusting the burner to settings that will ensure adequate Air/Fuel ratio necessary for complete combustion. This reduces fuel consumed, eliminates emission of heavy black soot/smoke (unburnt fuel) into the atmosphere thus avoiding environmental pollution, as well as reducing heat transfer inhibiting sooth deposits which ultimately reduces boiler heat transfer efficiency leading to higher than necessary fuel consumption
- Data based treatment of the boiler feed water to ensure use of adequate quality water in the boiler at all times. Poor quality feed water can lead to serious feed pump and boiler drum and tubes damage as a result of cavitation induced localized corrosion.
Boilers and other pressure vessels have been known to explode on account of improper operation of the boiler as well as the absence or/and failure of the various safeties. A boiler explosion is usually accompanied by fatalities but in the most mild case it leads to serious damage to the company’s assets.
We have the requisite knowledge and skills to provide you with the following services for the low cost effective and safe operation of your steam boiler/plant.
- Technical and operational audit of your steam plant with a view to establishing areas of improvement to achieve reduced fuel consumption and so cost
- Technical advice on water treatment and blow down for operational efficiency and increased boiler life span
- Contract or emergency maintenance of your Boiler/Steam plant to ensure the plant is always in the best and safe operating conditions to reduce fuel consumption and environmental pollution
- Repair of Boiler furnace and tubes including rebuilding of furnace and tube replacement
- Training of your operational staff to upgrade their equip them with the knowledge and skills
