Custom Steam Plant Engineering for Industrial Facilities
Every industrial steam plant is a particular case. Space constraints, load profile, available fuels and the equipment already installed mean a catalogue solution rarely fits as it comes.
We design and integrate custom equipment for industrial steam plants, and we carry out the pressure equipment design that goes with it, through to CRN registration.
Custom engineering and technology integration
We work on existing steam plants as well as new projects, alongside your consulting engineer where there is one.
- Custom steam plant engineering — sizing, equipment selection and integration into the existing steam network
- Boiler auxiliary equipment — design and integration of deaerators, condensate tanks, economizers and blowdown systems
- Industrial thermal skids — shop assembly and integration, commissioning on site
- Modernization — replacing or adding equipment in an operating boiler room, with the outage constraints that implies
This work almost always starts with the same question: what the plant actually has to produce, rather than what it was originally designed for. The gap between the two determines the solution.
Pressure equipment design: ASME calculations and CRN registration
Custom equipment destined for a steam plant is pressure equipment. It has to be calculated, documented and registered before it can legally be installed.
- Thermal and mechanical design of equipment
- ASME code calculations for pressure equipment
- Pressure piping design
- Preparation of drawings
- CRN registration across Canada — RBQ in Quebec, TSSA in Ontario, ABSA in Alberta and the other provincial authorities
- Fabrication supervision
CRN registration is specific to each province and it gates commissioning. Handling it from the design stage avoids discovering at the end of a project that a vessel cannot be installed where it was planned.
Talk to an engineer
Describe your project or your constraint, and we will tell you what the design would involve, including the registration requirements of the province concerned.
