Boilers

The demand for boilers comes from various industries that require steam at either high or low pressure. Some of the high-pressure and high-temperature steam boilers are used in applications like crude oil separation plants, water distillation units, and more. Boilers are generally classified based on the type of steam they produce and the pressure at which it is generated. Additional classifications are based on factors such as design, fuel type, location, and fabrication method. Boiler designs are generally classified into 3 types such as water-tube, fire-tube, combination, and tubeless boilers.

Boilers also vary according to fuel type, including electric and gas boilers, each designed to meet specific energy requirements. Additionally, the industry is shifting toward more environmentally friendly solutions, such as solar water boilers, which are gaining popularity as a sustainable way to produce steam using renewable energy. A water boiler serves a key role in supplying hot water for various applications. On the other hand, the steam boiler is essential for generating steam for industrial processes.

Boilers carry inherent risks and are built according to international safety standards with several safety considerations in mind. The inherent risks associated with their operation and the potential hazards they pose to their surroundings make them a critical component of any plant. Components such as the burner, combustion chamber, steam drum, tubes, blowdown system, and others are all essential but can also be dangerous. These issues make boiler construction a difficult undertaking that must be done by experts. We, at METALFAB, are proud to be recognized as one of the finest in the industry.
