Fulton Acillary Equipment

Ancillary Equipment

A steam boiler is just one part of a well designed steam system. Means to collect condensate and handle blowdown water are necessary processes for nearly all steam systems. In addition some level of water treatment is required to ensure system durability and reliability. Many steam applications are unique and will require specific types of accessories engineered to work in unison to provide a solution to a customers needs. Fulton manufactures all ancillary equipment to the same high standards as our boilers.

Primary Steam Equipment

Proper delivery of feedwater and collection of condensate is essential to the operation of a steam system. All of the vessels designed to perform these specific tasks can be built to ASME code or non-code depending on the requirements in your area or system. Whether the solution is a standard option or custom application Fulton engineering can help design and size a system to perform any combination of tasks you need. All of our equipment is built to the same standard as our boilers. They are also designed to compliment each other in situations where more than one vessel may be needed.

  • Deaerators
  • Feed sets / Return Tanks
  • Condensate Surge Tanks
  • Blowdown Separators
  • Flash Tanks
  • Lead -Lag Systems

Auxillary Steam Equipment

Our auxillary equipment is used to control the quality, pressure, storage capacity and enthalpy (heat content or temperature) of steam. Fulton engineers can match equipment to just about any challenge you can put our way. The units are sized and matched to your specific application and can be skid mounted with other equipment to ensure you have a system that creates the quality and quantity of steam your application requires. A skid mounted system greatly increases the ease of installation with single point connections. This saves you time and money.

  • Accumulators
  • Superheaters
  • Steam Separators / Filters
  • PRV Stations
  • Trapsets
  • Heat Recovery Systems

Water Treatment Equipment

The quality of the water used in a steam boiler will affect it’s life. It is strongly recommended that a competent water treatment program be implemented as a part of the steam system design.

Natural feedwater supplies contain solids and dissolved gases. These may promote formation of scale, foaming, solids in steam, corrosion, and/or fouling. To prevent this, feedwater must be studied individually and treated accordingly. The treatment should provide quality feedwater to the boiler such that corrosion and deposition in the boiler will be minimized. Dissolved oxygen, high chloride levels and low pH can all be major causes of corrosion. Untreated hardness and high solids are the major cause of deposits which decrease boiler efficiency.
