Stacked Air Systems

Addressing the Root Causes of Poor Combustion

Poor combustion generates a host of costly problems, including high carry over, poor emissions, high soot-blowing consumption and premature pluggage. Rather than expending capital, maintenance and personnel assets treating symptoms, doesn’t it make sense to  correct the fundamental process?

Our patent-pending Stacked Air System™ technology can improve the throughput, runtime, thermal and reduction efficiencies, and emissions from your recovery boiler without requiring costly boiler expansions and heat transfer tube modifications. Your boiler will be much more stable, even burning waste streams with greater stability, while reducing risk. Every Clyde Bergemann Anthony-Ross Stacked Air System™ is designed with a high value/high performance philosophy.

Stacked Air System

Simply described, the stacked air system works by stack-ing ports on top of each other. Fewer ports are typically used at a specific elevation, but there are more elevations throughout the height of the furnace. Clyde Bergemann Anthony-Ross typically uses two or three ports on two walls at both the secondary and tertiary air levels in an interlaced pattern when the folds are made (as shown at right). The ports are on the same tube locations vertically. Depending upon the CFD Model results, one or more elevations may be added.
