Spray-type Deaerators
Commercial and industrial boilers operate at their best when the incoming boiler feed water is free from dissolved gasses. Dissolved oxygen causes severe corrosion damage to boiler internals, causing the risk of malfunction, decreased reliability, and even significant safety issues.
That’s where Stork Technical Services comes in. Our famous Spray-type Deaerator has build up a respectable reputation in the world which decades back to 1933.By combining our customers’ need for flexibility and our in depth knowledge of steam/water cycles, we have been able to satisfy many customer needs for both power plant as industrial applications.
The Stork Spray-type Deaerator offers the following to ensure consistent and reliable boiler operation:
- Single vessel design and low overall height
- Flexible design with a large operating range
- Several heat sources - hot water or steam
- Capacity from 10 to 7000 t/h (or even unlimited)
- Low total cost of ownership
- No oxygen scavenger dosing required
- Virtually no required maintenance
SwirlFlash® Technology
More power. Lower NOx emissions. These are the benefits customers can anticipate by using Stork Technical Services’ patented SwirlFlash® technology for their gas turbine
SwirlFlash is a gas turbine inlet cooling technology that uses hot pressurized water to obtain tiny droplets, which behave like aerosols. When injected into the compressor, the evaporation rate is extremely high and blade impact is avoided. During the evaporation process of the droplet the gas turbine inlet will be cooled resulting in an increase of gas turbine output and lower NOx emission at the same time.
Stork Technical Services provides Swirlflash on a turn-key base, resulting in:
- 15% power increase with the same gas turbine
- NOx reducation of up to 40% on a regular gas turbine
- NOx reducation of up to 20% on a dry low NOx gas turbine
- Power increase available within 15 - 30 seconds
- No blade erosion
- Grid frequency support
- Reduction of gas turbine power loss at high ambient temperatures and high ambient humidity
SwirlFlash technology is the result of Stork Technical Services’ dedication to research and development leading to innovative solutions for costly problems. Our customers know that when they use SwirlFlash technology, it will take Stork Technical Services less than five days to install it. They know there will be no pressure drop in the gas turbine inlet, and no need to change the gas turbine control system.
What’s more, Stork Technical Services has its own test stand, located in Hengelo, where we are able to simulate process parameters and test hardware. We use fluent simulations to create an optimal water distribution in your gas turbine inlet.
Calling on Stork Technical Services for Spray-type Deaerators or SwirlFlash® Technology services means you can anticipate reduced risk from start to finish.
