A customer operating a 60,000 lb/h, 400 psig steam boiler needed a Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) system to retrofit an existing burner and comply with lower NOx requirements. To avoid months of delay and significant costs in purchasing new equipment, and recognizing Faber’s ability to build custom combustion equipment in a timely manner, the customer turned to Faber. Faber committed to providing drawings within 2 weeks after receipt of the order and ensuring shipment within 6 weeks after release for fabrication.

After award, Faber worked quickly to collect the required information including necessary dimensions, operating flows, pressures, and temperatures. Faber then performed engineering and design and validated that retrofit to the existing combustion air fan and ancillaries. This eliminated the need for the customer to purchase new equipment, which would have required many weeks to deliver.

Because the customer’s equipment was already existing, Faber customized its product to bolt on to the existing fan assembly. Faber supplied the mixing box, fresh air damper, FGR damper, stack scoop, and all flanges and gaskets, and closely coordinated with the customer’s scope of work and parts supply to assemble the completed work and assure a smooth project. The primed and painted parts were shipped ahead of schedule.

Faber routinely customizes its equipment to meet customer needs and assure a timely project. To learn more about this or other case studies, please contact us.
