Cochran provide Further Combustion Upgrades to Billerud Beetham

Following on from the successful turnkey installation of a new Energy Centre (see News article from Feb 2012), Billerud Beetham Ltd once again turned to Cochran Ltd. to upgrade their existing 9000kg/hr Thermax steam boiler. Although the existing boiler was over 35 years old it was still in good condition but the combustion equipment had become outdated and inefficient, with the controller now obselete and spare parts increasingly difficult to source.

The client explored various options and decided the solution was to fit a Cochran EquiNox natural gas burner and panel complete with the latest microprocessor controls, providing enhanced combustion and fuel savings.  A variable speed drive supplied with the burner package reduces electricity consumption associated with the forced draught fan motor.

In 2013 Billerud Beetham intends to replace the burner and control on the final boiler and install a new central control system for the all Cochran boilers.

This new combustion equipment was successfully fitted and commissioned during the planned maintenance shut down.

The before and after pictures - The Cochran EquiNox will provide Billerud Beetham with more efficient and cost saving combustion.
