Engineered solutions
Engineered solutions are made possible with our boiler modelling capability, using various tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics, circulation modelling and other techniques, unparalleled in the industrial markets that we serve.
This enables us to get the maximum utilisation from existing watertube boilers of all types and sizes, irrespective of the manufacturer. Examples of this include capacity and/or efficiency upgrades for existing plant.
We also offer on-site advice and upgrading solutions to improve plant performance and reduce operating costs.
