Overview
In power plants, efficient heating processes – from water heating to emissions control – are essential for optimizing energy output, maintaining operational efficiency, and reducing environmental impact.
Direct Steam Injection (DSI) heaters bring significant advantages to heating applications in power generation, providing on-demand, precise, and energy-efficient solutions that enhance performance across processes:
- Increases efficiency by rapidly heating water and steam for quicker power generation, reducing start-up times and boosting energy output
- Reduces fuel costs with near 100% thermal efficiency, directly transferring steam energy to minimize heat loss and fuel usage
- Enhances reliability by offering precise temperature control, optimizing equipment performance and extending system lifespan
- Minimizes maintenance with direct steam injection, avoiding scaling and fouling on heating surfaces for continuous operation
- Improves boiler feedwater pre-heating, reducing thermal shock and fuel consumption while enhancing boiler efficiency and durability
- Adapts to various power plant needs with customizable temperatures and flow rates, supporting applications from condensate heating to emissions control
- Supports environmental goals by maximizing efficiency, lowering emissions, and contributing to cleaner exhaust scrubbing processes
- Saves space with a compact design that integrates seamlessly into existing systems, ideal for retrofits and expansions in constrained areas
- Enhances safety by delivering on-demand, controlled heating without risk of leaks or temperature overshoot, protecting both operators and equipment
Hydroheater®
Also known as the Jetcooker™, our Hydroheater® has the longest proven history of heating and processing a complex range of liquids and materials. Known for its adjustability, durability, and power, the near century of engineering and innovation behind the design of this workhorse speaks for itself.
- Volume capability: 1 up to 6,700 gpm [0.2 up to 1,522 m³/hr]
NOH™ (Non-Obstructing Heater)
The Non-Obstructing Heater is rugged enough to handle even the toughest abrasive materials, like sand and grit, to fibrous materials and large particulates.
- Its non-obstructive design protects against plugging, fouling, and pressure drop with its powerful, unrestricted flow.
- Volume capability: 30 up to 3,035 gpm [6.8 up to 689 m³/hr]
Solaris®
Perfect for viscous slurries, the Solaris® heater features an optimized straight-through design and low shear flow perfect for heavy slurries with medium consistency or higher solid contents. The flow diffuser injects steam across the entire cross-section to ensure thorough mixing and a uniform temperature profile even at a high volume and flow rate.
- Volume capability: 5 up to 25,000 gpm [1 up to 5,678 m³/hr]
EZ Heater®
The EZ Heater® is the industry leader in all hot water applications with its unique internal modulation, and self-cleaning ability. With on-demand hot water where you need it, the EZ Heater is ideal for washing stations, Clean in Place (CIP) systems, and anywhere reliable hot water is needed.
- Volume capability: 2 up to 1,350 gpm [.5 up to 306 m3/hr]
