PROJECT SCOPE
The Fayetteville Chemours facility encountered a significant setback when one of its two watertube boilers malfunctioned, necessitating the remaining boiler to operate at an unsustainable capacity. Urgency arose to restore boiler #2 to full functionality before the upcoming winter season. Initial assessments pointed towards improper burner tuning, causing damage to the inner wall tubes, warranting prompt and professional intervention.
ACTION
The intricate nature of the boiler problems at the Fayetteville Chemours facility necessitated specific expertise and know-how to successfully resolve the issues. In seeking professional assistance, the client turned to Icon Boiler, a renowned and experienced provider of boiler services, equipped with the crucial R-Stamp authorization for boiler tube repairs.
Icon Boiler’s experienced team approached the project methodically and began by replacing the initial 64 tubes that were identified as having defects. In addition, they incorporated two new site glasses, which allowed for improved flame monitoring, thereby enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the boiler. During the subsequent hydro testing following the initial repairs, potential leaks in other tubes were identified, necessitating the replacement of an additional 130 inner wall tubes.
Additionally, the team discovered broken fittings within the mud drum, which required the replacement of the piping for the connecting nozzle of the sparge tube. This comprehensive approach enabled the team to address the three distinct code repair requirements within a single project, saving the client both time and resources.
By leveraging their technical expertise and specialized skill set, Icon Boiler seamlessly integrated the diverse repair requirements and provided the client with a turn-key solution that not only resolved the critical operational challenges but also ensured complete code compliance and safety.
