Synterprise Global Consulting Announces Widespread Availability of the Ecotube System to Deliver Significant Combustion Improvement and NOx Reduction.
Synterprise Global Consulting, a leading combustion engineering firm and provider of reliability, work management, and outage/shutdown management consulting, today announced the exclusive North American availability of the Ecotube System. The Ecotube System is an advanced combustion improvement and NOx reduction technology solution developed and patented by the Swedish environmental equipment and research firm, Ecomb AB
Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) December 7, 2004 -- Michael Brown, Synterprise’s CEO
stated,” The Ecotube System expands our ability to lower our client’s capital
and O&M costs for boiler operations. Once an Ecotube System installation is
complete, our client can begin to quickly experience reduced NOx emissions and
immediate savings in O&M costs- driven by increased boiler efficiency and
decreases in equipment corrosion which translates to longer equipment life
cycles, reductions in fuel expense, and lower station service from reduced fan
capacity. We’re extremely excited about this new product line for both
Synterprise and our clients. Not only does the Ecotube System offer substantial
immediate and long term business optimization benefits, it delivers an
accelerated ROI through a short term capital payback of approximately 3
years.”
The Ecotube System utilizes a hybrid of two proven technologies:
boosted over-fired air and selective non-catalytic reduction [SNCR. It consists
of retractable, self cleaning lance tubes penetrating the upper furnace, a
process air fan system, a water-cooling system, a reliability data management
system, and an electrical power and control system. A “reagent” injection system
and / or a small downstream SCR system may be included for additional NOx
reductions, depending on plant specific requirements. The system delivers air at
high pressure to the upper furnace chamber via the lance tube injection system,
changing the airflow from a laminar flow to a turbulent flow. It redistributes
the gases throughout the boiler volume and increases the residence time in the
boiler for improved air / fuel mixing in the furnace - increasing combustion
process efficiency and providing significant multiple positive
benefits.
“We recognized the difficulty our clients were facing in
finding a good combustion improvement solution that provides greater boiler
optimization while addressing ever tightening emissions compliance
requirements,” explained Dan Palomino, Vice President of Marketing for
Synterprise. “We are also sensitive to today’s cost constraints and swift
implementation requirements. We are thrilled to meet market demand with the
Ecotube System that obtains significant NOx reduction while increasing boiler
availability, and which can be utilized as either an independent solution or in
conjunction with other SNCR and/or SCR strategies.”
The new Ecotube
System in North America is a jointly provided system by Ecomb AB of Sweden and
Synterprise.
