The plant was built in the early 1970s under license by MW Kellogg licence. The old boilers are based on the traditional design featuring vertical layout and bayonet-type tubes with water flowing inside the tubes and the hot gas shell side for the first two boilers (101-C A/B) and process gas in the tubes for the second boiler (102-C).
Drawing upon SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK | ARVOS' SCHMIDT’SCHE® Double Tube & Oval Header technology platform the new design allows the realisation of the following advantages:
- No change in plant configuration.
- Re-use of existing foundations.
- Easy and fast installation, minimising the downtime required.
- Water-cooled tube sheet, no use of any refractory.
- No sludge/scale deposits.
- Low tube skin temperature.
- No crevice corrosion.
- Thermal expansion compensation.
- Trouble-free operation and easy maintenance.
The new boilers for Fertiberia will be designed to also meet the future conditions for when the plant will be operated with the addition of green hydrogen.
