Project Location: Florence, South Carolina

Project Completion: December 2001

Project Description:

ESI was the EPC Contractor for this new steam facility. This facility included: two 80,000 pph package boilers designed to produce 150 psig saturated steam firing natural gas or #2 fuel oil, along with low NOx burners, one 120,000 pph deaerator, and all necessary auxiliaries housed in a new building. The new system has a distributed control system that will allow for remote operation of the boiler house. The Customer’s steam demand is only approximately 60,000 pph of 150 psig saturated steam; however, the intrinsic nature of the manufactured goods produced at this facility dictates that they can never lose steam. Therefore, completely redundant systems were designed and installed with margin for future production expansion. This system replaced older, inefficient coal-fired boilers.
