Case Studies

The replacement of existing economizer and evaporator tubes with Clyde Bergemann‘s Double ‘H’® finned tubes leads to significantly improved performance in a Waste Heat Boiler.

For more than 60 years, Clyde Bergemann Australia (CBA) has been involved in the design and manufacturing of many types of waste heat recovery equipment.
Their expertise lies in waste gas-to-liquid heat exchangers and waste gas-to-gas heat exchangers, which absorb heat from the exhaust of reciprocating
engines, gas turbines, furnaces, incinerators, boilers and other combustion equipment. The energy is transferred to process fluids such as water, steam,
oil or air.

A biomass/gas cogeneration plant in Lucena (Spain) implemented the boiler cleaning optimisation system SMART Clean Compact to rectify heavy fouling and deposits in the boiler. Read the whole story …

Shanghai Clyde Bergemann is part of this success story, as they provided four sets of heat displacement systems – also called tube-type gas-gas heaters – for the Jiaxing Power Plant.

One of the main objectives of Clyde Bergemann is to support their customers with annual maintenance programmes for cleaning systems, thereby ensuring trouble-free plant operations. Fulfilling this objective, CBCOL was able to renew its contracts through 2019 with the two refineries of Ecopetrol, the largest company in Colombia.  

A Brazilian forestry company and leading eucalyptus pulp producer installed a new SMART Clean™ system and upgraded their sootblower nozzle to the High Efficiency Low Pressure CFE nozzle last year in two of their recovery boilers. Since the start of operations, not only have the boilers runtime improved but the sootblowing steam consumption has also been significantly reduced. Clyde Bergemann was recently awarded with two additional projects to upgrade two recovery boilers with this latest technology.

Saica Paper operate a Recycled Paper Mill in the UK with a dedicated Combined Heat and Power plant to generate energy. Due to the fuels they burn, Saica was experiencing heavy fouling in the empty pass section of the boiler.
The objective was clear: push the outage time out to a minimum of 12 months and reduce the costs by installing our class leading SMART SCS System.

In the course of a scheduled shutdown, a technical field staff member from Clyde Bergemann discovered several tubes in the boiler that were in a critical condition. What to do?

A leading Brazilian forestry company and eucalyptus pulp producer, recently installed a new SMART Clean™ system at one of their recovery boilers. Since starting operations, not only has the boiler run time improved, the sootblowing energy and steam consumption has also reduced significantly.

One of the biggest producers of bleached softwood kraft pulp and bleached kraft paper in Central and Eastern Europe came into contact with Clyde Bergemann’s Boiler Efficiency specialists to help supply equipment and solutions towards rebuilding their recovery boiler. With nearly 400 people they generate an annual turnover of 252 Mio. Euro (2016), selling 430 000 t of pulp and paper.

Clyde Bergemann's scope included the engineering and delivery of a Circulating Dry Scrubber (CDS) reactor, a Pulse Jet Fabric Filter (PJFF), water humidification system, lime feeding system, lime silo, by-product silo, material handling systems and the commissioning.

Steam Saver Sootblowing Technology is one of the key advancements that Clyde Bergemann Power Group (CBPG) has introduced to the Pulp and Paper industry within the past few years. The technology has evolved further where for the first time, it allows a pulp mill to run sootblower operation using as low as 8-11 bar (115 - 160 psi) steam from turbine extraction (Ultra Low Pressure Drop Sootblowing).

Using SMART Clean and SMART Cannons at Alliant Energy’s Edgewater Facility Improve System Reliability and Plant Heat Rate

The Termoguajira power station in Dibulla, Guajira, Colombia is a coal fired plant with two units equaling 320 MW.

CBPG has been sole sourced for the system design, equipment supply, and installation of the SMART Furnace at We Energies ERGS in Wisconsin, USA, making this a true turnkey solution. Clyde Bergemann’s SMART Furnace solution package comprises the complete cleaning technology upgrade in the furnace section with SMART Cannons, SMART Flux Sensors, SMART Pumps, and integration of the Thermodynamic WhatIf simulation modeling into the furnace section. 

The Clyde Bergemann Power Group Americas (CBAM) sold the first new version of SMART Clean in the Utility market to a power plant in the southwest United States. 

Clyde Bergemann Atlanta announces a new upgrade to the standard carriage, the Infinity Carriage. 

Utilities invesitgate options as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, USA) is expected to issue final rule on coal ash handling.
