Advanced Boiler Designs have Tremendous Advantages For Operations & Maintenance

No Refractory Means Dramatically Reduced Maintenance

Repowering employs custom-designed, gas-tight water tube boilers from ABCO Industries. ABCO boilers have fully-welded, membrane construction with no refractory on heat transfer surfaces. Sides, roof, floor and front and rear walls all provide maximum cooling surface and absolutely zero leakage. Instead of replacing refractory every few years, you'll enjoy the most efficient and longest-lasting boiler design available.

Custom-Designed For Your Requirements

All ABCO boilers are engineered from the ground up with your needs in mind. We are flexible enough, for example, to re-engineer the boiler to eliminate your air heater by installing an economizer. You'll enjoy increased steam production while possibly increasing net efficiency and reducing emission levels.

Repowering replaces the maintenance problems of refractory with a long-lasting, low maintenance welded membrane furnace.

Increase Capacity To Meet New Needs

Do you need more furnace volume? Repowering allows us to physically alter the distance between the drums, giving you a reduced pressure drop. A larger furnace can also lower your heat release rates and lower heat flux in the furnace, meaning you'll enjoy less wear and tear, lower NOx and lower CO emissions because of more residence time for the flame. Our membrane tube design will eliminate CO bypass.

Fast Start-Ups Save Energy

The ABCO design delivers fast start-up performance for either auxiliary or main boilers. Start-ups can take 30 minutes or less, saving considerable fuel expense.

• This design is the industry benchmark for fast start-up capacity.
• Boiler responsiveness allows for drastic operational load savings.
• Greatly reduced fuel cost for hot standby applications. Burner can be turned off and mud drum heaters used.

On-Site Repowering Means Downtime As Short As 10 Days

Repowering is accomplished on-site using ABCO non-union crews or local union labor. Our approach means that there are no size constrains for shipping... we can Repower any size boiler without worrying about truck or tail car size limitations.

Best of all, the entire Repowering process is usually accomplished with as little as 10 days downtime.. getting you back up and running fast!
