Membrane Wall Construction

Our Energy Recovery line features innovative designs to help eliminate refractory
wherever possible. Water-cooled membrane walls allow the boiler to
safely withstand firing or flue gas temperatures up to 2,800°F. They also
minimize high-maintenance refractory, provide a positive inner gas seal,
add structural strength, eliminate flue gas entrapment, and help maintain
thermal efficiency. The adjacent fins of each outboard tube are seal-
welded together, forming a robust gas-tight and water-cooled enclosure.

Heat Recovery Steam Generators
HRSG Solutions to meet today's CHP applications
We lead the industry with our packaged heat recovery steam generators, which have natural circulation designs with
design pressures up to 2,300 psig and steam temperatures up to 1,050°F. For supplemental and/or fresh-air fired
applications, our heat recovery steam generator is integrated with a NATCOM duct burner and our in-house controls
systems for the highest efficiency and lowest emissions possible.

Slant HRSG Series

Single Pass Energy Recovery in a compact design
The Slant series of natural circulation heat recovery steam generators features the traditional Slant model and
the VC (Vertical Drum Cross Flow) model, both tailored for applications with gas side inlet temperatures less than
1,700°F. This series is capable of steam flows from 10,000 – 150,000 lb/hr at steam pressures up to 2,300 psig,
and superheated steam is available up to 1050°F. The Slant Series is ideal for gas flows from 50,000 – 400,000
lb/hr at near atmospheric pressure with gas flow perpendicular to the steam and water drums (cross flow).

The traditional Slant model incorporates a steam and water (mud) drum positioned diagonally, which
maximizes the amount of heating surface for a given shipping profile. This yields a compact and efficient
method of heat recovery.

The VC model is a drum-over-drum design well suited for higher-pressure steam applications, integral CO /
SCR systems, and horizontal exhaust flow arrangements. It can be customized with a stainless steel inner liner,
refractory lining, or watercooled membrane wall construction, depending on your process requirements.

Both models are single-pass designs. The absence of gas baffles eliminates flue gas bypass and associated baffle
maintenance. Convection access doors on both sides of the tube bank provide easy inspection, maintenance,
and replacement of gas side heating surface and other components. Full-length steam and water drums with
manways on each end allow access for inspection and maintenance of internal waterside surfaces. Unheated
downcomers, completely external to the boiler casing, ensure maximum natural circulation.

 Boilers

The MF (O-style) and MFA (A-style) models combine a waterwall combustion chamber formed from
membrane wall construction with an evaporator section in a single shop-assembled boiler. The integral watercooled
furnace allows for supplemental firing temperatures up to 2,800°F. The evaporator section is a combination of bare
tubes and various degrees of finned tubes in a staggered or in-line arrangement for optimized heat transfer and
pressure drop.

Duct Burner
Burners

Boost the efficiency of your HRSG

NATCOM Duct Burners supplement the gas turbine in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) applications with an
innovative flame stabilizer system. Ideal for use in Combined Heat and Power applications when additional steam
is required for heat or process needs. For every BTU via the duct burner, the HRSG will have an additional BTU
of heat output. Duct burners can fire a variety of gaseous fuels, including natural gas, LFG, digester gas, refinery
gas and H2, as well as fuel oil. Our in-house simulation experience allows accurate and complete modeling of the
turbine exhaust flow, distribution grid, combustion, heat recovery system, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
for every HRSG we build. We can offer a complete control system for the HRSG, duct burner, and SCR, or a
stand-alone BMS for the duct burner.
